People are in Zhenguan, solving crimes scientifically

Chapter 326: Final Chapter! (Grand Finale)

"Lin Shaoqing really deserves the title of detective. Even a sentence like that can become key evidence!"

"Yeah, if it were me, even if Han Keji said a hundred sentences, let alone just one, I probably wouldn't think deeply about it."

"This is what they call being observant!"

"More importantly, Lin Shaoqing is not only able to investigate cases, but also to make plans based on the results of the investigation. Moreover, his plans can deceive everyone, and ultimately deceive the most cunning Four Elephants Organization. This is the most amazing thing!"

"Yes, this means that Lin Shaoqing has foresight that is not inferior to anyone else!"

The officials were whispering to each other, and they were becoming more and more impressed and impressed with Lin Feng.

The more they followed Lin Feng and got deeper into the case, the more they listened to Lin Feng's analysis of the case, and the more they knew about Lin Feng's plan, the more deeply they felt the terror of Lin Feng!
What Lin Feng did in Shenshan County had not spread widely, so these officials did not realize Lin Feng’s true abilities until this moment.

Listening to everyone's praises, Lin Feng just smiled. He had heard these words so many times that he was somewhat immune to them.

He continued, "With these two things, the Four Symbols Organization will no longer have any doubts about my death, and this... will allow them to finally carry out their plan with confidence!"

As soon as Lin Feng's voice was heard, all the noise disappeared almost instantly.

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Feng. They kept their mouths tightly shut, not even daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at Hou Junji and Zhang Liang, who were tied up like dumplings, and said slowly, "Before you took action, I already knew your identities, but I still didn't show up. I let His Majesty cooperate with your performance and let you think that His Majesty was trapped under the ruins. Do you know why I did this?"

Hou Junji did not answer, but stared at Lin Feng with resentful eyes. He was breathing heavily like a trapped lion.

Zhang Liang also pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lin Feng did not look surprised at all. He said, "Since you are unwilling to speak, let me speak."

He looked at everyone and said, "Although I already know the identities of Baihu and Zhuque, this is far from enough. After all, the real master of the Four Symbols Organization is not them. If we want to completely destroy the Four Symbols Organization, we must find their master, that is, Ziwei."

"But Ziwei is too mysterious. Everything is done by Suzaku and Baihu. He has never done anything himself. So even I don't have any clues about Ziwei."

"Therefore, I can only take advantage of their opportunity to act this time."

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Suzaku and White Tiger again. Hou Junji's expression began to change. Even though Zhang Liang still had his eyes closed, the corners of his eyes kept twitching, and it was obvious that he was very uneasy inside.

Lin Feng raised his lips and said slowly: "The Four Symbols Organization went to great lengths to take charge of the blessing event and planned for many years, not hesitating to steal ore from Cizhou to secretly prepare gunpowder, just to bury your majesty and the princes in the ruins... But this is just a process, not the final result."

"We bury His Majesty here, and then what? For the Four Symbols Organization, what they can get after His Majesty is gone is the most important thing."

"So, your majesty and I hid in the dark, just to see what Zhang Liang and Hou Junji, the two Four Symbols Star Lords, would do."

"result……"

Lin Feng paused deliberately to give everyone time to digest what he had said, then he took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Liang and Hou Junji really cooperated well!"

After hearing Lin Feng's words, Zhang Liang couldn't help it anymore and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

He looked at Lin Feng and shook his head, "Stop talking! Lin Feng, stop talking!"

Hou Junji also growled like a wild beast: "Lin Feng, if you keep talking, you will not have a good ending. Li Shimin will never let you go!"

Upon hearing what Zhang Liang and Hou Junji said, all the civil and military officials looked at each other in surprise.

Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji, who were extremely intelligent and had the fastest reactions, had their faces changed drastically. They had already guessed the truth from the reactions of Lin Feng and the other two.

Next, officials such as Wei Zheng and Dai Zhou, and then ordinary officials, seemed to understand something.

For a moment, their expressions changed.

They subconsciously looked at Li Yuan, who was standing on the ruins with his hair and beard covered with snow. They looked shocked, with complicated expressions and unspeakable emotions on their faces.

Li Yuan!

Ziwei is definitely Li Yuan!
After all, just now, before Lin Feng and the others arrived, Zhang Liang proposed that Li Yuan could take charge of the overall situation, and Hou Junji simply took practical action to kill Sun Fujia to scare the monkeys, in order to achieve the result of supporting Li Yuan!

One of them is a civil official, the other a military official, one has a bad face, the other a good face, and it is clear that they are cooperating with Li Yuan to take charge of the overall situation and return to the throne!

Before, the officials did not think deeply about these things, because they thought Li Yuan was indeed the most suitable person to be the emperor.

But now, think about it carefully... The result of praying for blessings is that only Li Yuan is left in the Li Tang royal family, and the direct result is that only Li Yuan can hold power! In the end, there is no one else who can benefit except Li Yuan!
As for Zhang Liang and Hou Junji, their words and actions really matched each other perfectly!

It can't be wrong!
And...why does the Four Symbols Organization have so many spies and insiders in the palace and the court?

If it was secretly planted by the founding monarch of the Tang Dynasty, then it would be very reasonable.

After all, as a former emperor, Li Yuan had too many opportunities and enough ability to hide these things from everyone.

Even though Li Shimin cleaned up the mess after he ascended the throne...there were still some that slipped through the net.

And this is also the most fundamental reason why the Four Symbols Organization is so powerful!
Behind it is the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor of the previous generation!
Therefore, there will be no more surprises. The Lord of the Four Symbols, Ziwei, is definitely Li Yuan!
But... Li Yuan is your Majesty's father!

As a result, he was willing to kill His Majesty in this way in order to regain the throne! He even spared no effort to kill all his grandsons.

This...isn't this too cruel?

Fang Xuanling frowned, and even the scheming Changsun Wuji couldn't help feeling frightened.

As for the others, one by one, they all couldn't help but shook their heads.

Seeing this scene, Hou Junji and Zhang Liang's faces turned completely pale. They knew that it was too late.

The wind blew violently and the remaining snow flew up.

Between Li Shimin and Li Yuan, countless snowflakes were blown by the wind, so that their vision of each other became blurred.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask."

At this time, Li Yuan, who had not said a word since Lin Feng and the others appeared, finally sighed and spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing Li Yuan's voice, everyone was startled and subconsciously looked at Li Shimin.

Then, they saw Li Shimin looking at his father with a complicated look he had never seen before. The snow covered the ground, and also dyed Li Shimin's hair white. At this moment, Li Shimin felt that his whole body was shrouded in coldness, but he could not tell whether it was because of the cold winter or because of his loved ones in front of him. He took a deep breath and finally said the first sentence to Li Yuan: "Have you ever been reluctant to leave?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. He thought that Li Shimin would question him, or even roar and scold him angrily, but he never thought that Li Shimin's first sentence would be in such a complicated tone. He would ask him...have you ever been reluctant to let go?

He was silent for a while, then shook his head: "Those who achieve great things must be ruthless and ruthless! You should understand this best."

Li Shimin was silent.

Li Yuan continued: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Li Shimin's voice was a little hoarse, and he shook his head: "One is enough."

Li Yuan stood there steadily. He was ready to tell all the secrets about the Star Palace, including everything he had planned and who else were the members of the Star Palace... But who knew that Li Shimin only asked the question that he thought was the most useless.

It was not until this moment that Li Yuan finally understood something.

He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, and his already bent back became even more hunched.

"you……"

Li Shimin didn't say anything else and didn't listen to Li Yuan's words anymore. For him, that one answer was really enough.

He turned around, with his back to Li Yuan, and his voice returned to its usual unfathomable tone: "Please ask the emperor to return to the palace to rest. All members of the Four Elephants, including White Tiger and Vermillion Bird, will be imprisoned and handed over to the Three Divisions for handling. All cases concerning the Four Elephants organization will be presided over by Lin Feng!"

After saying that, he strode out directly.

In the end, he didn't even look at Li Yuan again.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, looked up, looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, and suddenly laughed, but the laughter sounded full of sadness.

"Father and son...Father and son..."

Li Yuan's sad voice echoed in the silent ruins.

A cold wind blew by, carrying his voice farther and farther away until it finally dissipated.

Watching Li Yuan being taken away by the Qianniu Guards, Sun Fujia came to Lin Feng's side and said with emotion: "I never thought that Ziwei was actually the emperor..."

Lin Feng looked at Li Shimin's back. Although Li Shimin still had his back straight and walked like a dragon or a tiger, Lin Feng, who was good at observing details, still found that Li Shimin's steps were different from when he came. After all, Li Shimin was not as calm as he seemed.

Lin Feng shook his head and said: "In fact, everything has been foreshadowed..."

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng, and heard Lin Feng say: "Doctor Sun still remember the beliefs of the Four Symbols Organization?"

"Let the world get back on track?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Back on track, Your Majesty is the emperor, for whom is it back on track? I think it is only the former Sui Dynasty, Prince Jiancheng and the emperor."

"But Hou Junji and Zhang Liang were the heroes who followed the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Former Sui Dynasty. To the people of the Former Sui Dynasty, they must have an irreconcilable blood feud with the Former Sui Dynasty, so it is impossible for them to stand together. Not to mention that I have also come into contact with the remnants of the Former Sui Dynasty. What they did happened to conflict with the goals of the Four Symbols Organization, forcing Baihu to leave a letter to the prince to save his life. Therefore, the Former Sui Dynasty can be directly ruled out."

"As for Crown Prince Jiancheng... Crown Prince Jiancheng's death was witnessed by so many people, and His Majesty has definitely confirmed it personally. He couldn't have faked his own death and escaped like I did. Besides... even if he really faked his own death and escaped, what ability does a powerless Crown Prince Yin, who failed in the competition for the crown prince, have that would make Hou Junji and Zhang Liang willing to take the risk to follow him?"

"So, the suspicion of the retired emperor has always been the greatest. Especially after I confirmed that the Four Star Lords were at least third-rank officials, I was basically certain that Ziwei was the retired emperor. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, the only person who could make third-rank officials willing to follow and take risks was the founding monarch."

"But the status of the Emperor is too sensitive after all. Even His Majesty may not be able to do anything, so I can only let them witness it all with their own eyes."

Sun Fujia nodded suddenly: "So that's how it is."

Only then did he understand the deeper meaning behind all that Lin Feng had done.

"Now White Tiger and Vermillion Bird have been caught, only Black Tortoise and Azure Dragon are left. I wonder who they will be?" Sun Fujia said.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng heard this and said something beyond Sun Fujia's expectations: "I think there is a high probability that there are no Xuanwu and Qinglong."

"What?" Sun Fujia was stunned.

Lin Feng said: "We have been fighting the Four Symbols Organization for so long, captured so many people, and destroyed so many of their plans... but we haven't found a single Xuanwu or Qinglong person. This probability is really low."

"And the blessing is the final plan of the Four Symbols Organization. Logically speaking, the Four Symbols Organization must have gone all out for this final plan, but what was the result? Doctor Sun also saw that only White Tiger and Vermillion Bird took action."

"Even Ziwei came in person, why wouldn't Xuanwu and Qinglong come?"

"so……"

Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said, "I suspect that when the emperor created the Star Palace, he considered gathering the four generals of the Four Star Lords, but it is not easy to bribe people of Hou Junji's status, so in the end, the emperor only found people to serve as White Tiger and Vermillion Bird, leaving Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise vacant."

"Of course, it is also possible that the emperor did it on purpose. He deliberately told the public that there were four elephants, but in fact there were only two. His purpose was to confuse people so that even if outsiders knew about the existence of the Star Palace, they would not be able to truly understand the situation of the Star Palace."

Sun Fujia thought about it and nodded, "This possibility is indeed not low. We have indeed not encountered any Xuanwu or Qinglong people."

Lin Feng smiled: "But guesses are just guesses after all, and we still need to confirm them. Baihu and Zhuque have been caught, and the emperor seems to have basically given up. We have plenty of time to slowly investigate and confirm."

Sun Fujia nodded heavily. He admired Lin Feng's caution in the case. Even if he was 90% sure, Lin Feng would not make a decision easily. It was precisely because of this caution that Lin Feng would not misjudge the case like him, and could ensure that the truth of every case would be revealed!
Li Yuan and Li Shimin left, Hou Junji and Zhang Liang were also taken away, and all the officials finally breathed a sigh of relief, unloading the burden that had been weighing on their hearts and almost suffocating them.

They came to Lin Feng one after another, bowed to him, congratulated him on solving another big case, and flattered and praised him.

"Congratulations, Lin Shaoqing! Another big case has been solved!"

"This case is definitely a great achievement. I estimate that it won't be long before Lin Shaoqing will be promoted again!"

"Lin Shaoqing is truly a god at solving cases! I admire you!"

"I want to celebrate for Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin must do me the honor..."

Lin Feng was the best at handling this kind of thing. He was very good at handling things and responded one by one with a smile, making every official who showed goodwill to him feel very happy and then leave with a smile on his face.

Watching the official leave with satisfaction, Sun Fujia smiled and nodded. He felt more and more that Lin Feng was born to be an official.

Seeing that Lin Feng had finished greeting the officials, Sun Fujia said with a smile: "This farce is finally over, and it's time for us to leave. Next, I will hold a banquet to celebrate your destruction of the Four Symbols Organization!"

"it's over?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Lin Feng said meaningfully: "Did Doctor Sun forget about the other two forces?"

Sun Fujia's heart moved: "What do you mean?"

Lin Feng raised his right hand and said, "Qin Siqing, wait a moment!"

Qin Lin, the Minister of the Imperial Household, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard this. He turned around and looked at Lin Feng in confusion, and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I just want to invite Qin Siqing to stay in my Dali Temple prison for a while."

"What!?"

The officials who were about to leave suddenly stopped when they heard Lin Feng's words.

Is there anything else going on?

They quickly turned their heads to look.

The expression of Qin Lin, the Minister of Imperial Household Department, changed rapidly. He could not help but ask, "Mr. Lin, are you kidding?"

"joke?"

Lin Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "Everyone who knows me knows that I like to be serious and never joke."

When Qin Lin heard Lin Feng's words and saw more and more officials gathered around him, his face finally darkened. He said in a cold voice: "What do you mean, Mr. Lin? I haven't offended you, have I?"

Lin Feng still shook his head: "Of course not."

"Then why did Lin Shaoqing——"

Before Qin Lin finished speaking, Lin Feng suddenly asked a question that seemed completely unrelated to the topic in the eyes of other officials.

Lin Feng only asked: "Does Qin Siqing believe in Buddhism?"

Qin Lin was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Yes, but the laws of the Tang Dynasty should not say that believing in Buddhism is illegal, right? And Xiao Siqing is even more powerful than me in belief, why didn't Lin Shaoqing also put Xiao Siqing in jail?"

This is a very pointed statement.

But Lin Feng didn't mind at all, and even replied with a smile: "Of course, believing in Buddhism is not against the law... But a few days ago, worshipping Buddha in Ling'an Temple might have been against the law."

Qin Lin, who had been calm at first, didn't know what he was thinking of when he heard Lin Feng mention the words "Ling'an Temple". His expression suddenly changed.

His eyes widened, and his pupils shrank subconsciously: "You..."

But soon, Qin Lin realized his own gaffe. He quickly calmed down and snorted, "There are many people who go to Ling'an Temple to worship Buddha every day. Does Lin Shaoqing mean that they are also breaking the law? Then I would like to know which article of the Great Tang law is violated by going to Ling'an Temple to worship Buddha!"

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, it is certainly not against the law to go to Ling'an Temple to worship Buddha, but if..."

He stared at Qin Lin with a half-smile and said, "In Ling'an Temple, secretly meeting with the family members of the Golden Hairpin inheritance family, such as Du Cheng of the Du family, Chen Miao of the Chen family... and then secretly discussing rebellion with them, that would be against the law."

"What!?"

"The golden hairpin is inherited from the family?"

"rebel!?"

"This……"

The officials watching around were stunned when they heard Lin Feng's meaningful words.

They thought that catching Hou Junji and Zhang Liang and finding Li Yuan, the Ziwei, would be all the fun of the day.

But who knows that the end of one good show is the beginning of another good show!
Qin Lin's expression also changed completely.

He could no longer maintain his calmness and shouted, "Lin Feng, stop talking nonsense!"

"What golden hairpin inheritance family! What Du Cheng? What Chen Miao? I don't know anything at all!"

"As for rebellion, that is nonsense! I have no grudge against you in the past or today, so why are you trying to frame me like this?"

Qin Lin was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He pointed at Lin Feng and shouted, his beard trembling.

But seeing this, Lin Feng just said calmly: "Actually, I am very surprised that you are here."

"Because you are about to take advantage of the turmoil caused by the Four Symbols Organization to rebel. How dare you show up here? Aren't you afraid of being caught by the Four Symbols Organization?"

"Later I figured it out. You were probably trying to confirm for yourself whether the Four Symbols Organization's plan would succeed, and then sneak out of Chang'an and formally plot a rebellion... After all, you were carrying Empress Lü's hopes for nearly a thousand years. You finally found this opportunity to cause unrest in the Tang Dynasty, so you naturally had to make sure it was foolproof."

Qin Lin's eyes widened, his expression becoming more and more horrified. He hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "You——"

Lin Feng interrupted him directly: "Are you trying to say that I have no evidence?"

Qin Lin's expression paused.

Then Lin Feng said calmly: "You may not know that I have already found out that Du Cheng and Chen Miao are from the Jinchai family, and I have been sending people to follow them secretly."

"So, I know clearly that after they met you, they left Chang'an. After leaving Chang'an, they did not return to their own homes, but went to your ancestral land instead!"

“That makes me very curious…”

Lin Feng looked at Qin Lin's increasingly nervous expression and said with a smile: "The purpose of their coming to Chang'an was to meet you secretly. In the end, they completed the mission, but instead of returning to their own home, why did they go to your ancestral land?"

"Then, I checked your ancestral land... This check made me discover that the governor of your ancestral land is from your Qin family. And counting back, almost all the governors recorded were either from your Qin family or had close ties with your Qin family, and were disciples or relatives of your Qin family..."

"Combined with the fact that the people you sent to assassinate me had been secretly trained for a long time in a certain place, this gives me a very bold guess!"

Qin Lin's forehead was covered with sweat without him knowing it. He was swallowing his saliva, and there was no trace of calmness on his expression. There was only panic and fear.

Lin Feng raised his lips and said slowly: "I wonder if there is such a possibility... your ancestral land has long been secretly controlled by your Qin family? You have used various means to keep the local officials there under the control of your Qin family, making it... a country within your Qin family's country?"

"And those people were all secretly trained by you in the ancestral land!"

"In fact, if my guess is correct, you should have used Empress Lü's treasure to train a powerful army, right?"

"As for why Chen Miao and the others went to your ancestral land... it's because you thought the time was ripe. Once the Four Symbols Organization succeeded, the Tang Dynasty would be in turmoil, and you could take this opportunity to rise up and revolt under the banner of justice! So you summoned all the capable Golden Hairpin families in order to concentrate their strength to plan something... In your ancestral land, it is where you will send your troops, and it is also your most stable rear base, right?"

Qin Lin opened his mouth and wanted to say something in rebuttal, but it was as if his throat was pinched by an invisible hand, making him unable to make a sound.

Lin Feng looked at Qin Lin, who was sweating profusely, and said, "Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you..."

"What?" Qin Lin subconsciously looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng raised his lips and said slowly: "During the days when I pretended to be dead, I have informed His Majesty of this matter, and His Majesty has secretly sent troops to your ancestral land. If nothing unexpected happens, your ancestral land has either been surrounded or captured..."

Bang!
Qin Lin was so frightened by Lin Feng's words that his body went limp and he actually fell down.

But he didn't care about the pain in his body. He just raised his head and said angrily and horrifiedly: "You...Lin Feng, you...I should have killed you a long time ago! I should have killed you a long time ago!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng smiled and shrugged: "Suzaku and Baihu have already said this. You really don't have any innovation. No wonder you don't create conditions for yourself, but just follow others and pick up ready-made ones."

"You--" Qin Lin was stunned for a long time after being shocked by Lin Feng's words.

Lin Feng was too lazy to talk nonsense and said directly: "Take him away!"

Soon, Qin Lin was taken away by the Qianniu Guards.

All the officials looked at how Qin Lin was frightened paralyzed by Lin Feng, and the expressions on their faces were indescribably wonderful and complicated.

It was not until this moment that they realized that Lin Feng was not only good at investigating cases, but also had a sharp tongue.

Lin Feng looked at the wonderful expressions on the officials' faces and said with a smile: "The big show here is over. I wonder if you colleagues have enjoyed it?" Upon hearing this, the officials waved their hands and said: "It's great, it's great."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "In fact, there is another scene happening. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

"There's more to come!?"

All the officials were shocked.

Is today a special day? Why are there so many interesting events?
Then Lin Feng said, "There are some Western merchants hiding in the Hu Ren Restaurant in the West Market of Chang'an City. On the surface, these Western merchants are here to do business, but in fact they are members of a mysterious force in the Western Regions. I have sent people to invite them to visit the Dali Temple Prison as well."

"A mysterious force in the Western Regions!?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other.

The fact that there was a mysterious force like the Four Symbols Organization in the Tang Dynasty was enough to surprise them. They did not expect that there was also a mysterious force in the Western Regions, and it was hidden in the West Market of the Tang Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji looked at each other. They keenly noticed something from Lin Feng's tone.

Chang Sun Wuji couldn't help but ask, "What does this mysterious force in the Western Regions want to do? They are hiding in Chang'an City. What is their plan?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Duke Qi, this is a good question."

He looked at everyone and said, "The Western Region is a very mysterious force. Even for me, it was only after I faked my death and escaped that I seized the opportunity to find out their true situation!"

Fang Xuanling and others held their breath and listened carefully.

Lin Feng didn't keep the secret. He looked around at everyone and said directly: "This mysterious force is completely different from the Four Symbols Organization, because it was not secretly formed by an individual for personal gain!"

"It wasn't formed by one person for personal gain... Could it be!?"

Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed, and he quickly thought of a possibility.

Zhang Sun Wuji also reacted extremely quickly, and almost at the same time said: "Is it a country in the Western Regions!?"

"What!?"

"A country in the Western Regions?"

All the officials were shocked.

They hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, seeking his answer.

Then, they saw Lin Feng nodding slowly and said, "Duke Qi and Duke Wei are indeed smart... Yes, this mysterious Western Region merchant force, behind them is actually the Western Region court, and according to my investigation... Gaochang and Qiuci are the direct leaders of this mysterious force!"

"Kucha and Gaochang?"

"This... why did they secretly create such a mysterious force?"

"What else can we do? Those who are not of our race must have different hearts. They definitely have bad intentions!"

"But don't they pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty?"

"Who says tribute must be sincere?"

"It's also..."

All the officials were shocked by Lin Feng's words and talked about it.

Fang Xuanling and Zhangsun Wuji looked at each other with serious expressions.

Because of their status and position, they know more information than ordinary officials, and can better infer the danger of the situation based on Lin Feng's words.

Fang Xuanling looked at Lin Feng and said, "Could it be that... they intend to do something bad to our Tang Dynasty?"

"Planning something evil?"

"real!?"

Everyone panicked and looked at Lin Feng quickly.

Lin Feng nodded slowly: "In fact, in my open and secret struggles with the Four Symbols Organization, I have discovered the presence of Western Region merchants more than once... This Western Region merchant force has great power because it has the support of two countries behind it."

"So, even though the Four Elephants Organization is very secretive, they still know a lot of secrets."

"Among them is the ultimate goal of the Four Elephants Organization."

"Therefore..."

He looked at everyone and said, "The Western Region merchant forces are actually the same as the Golden Hairpin Family. They are all waiting for the Four Symbols Organization to take action, and their goals are the same. They hope that our Great Tang will be in chaos."

"They know very well how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, so they know that if they want to gain benefits from the Tang Dynasty, they can only do so when the Tang Dynasty is in chaos. Therefore... they sent people to hide in Chang'an to determine whether the opportunity has come. If the Four Symbols Organization really succeeds..."

Everyone swallowed subconsciously, clenched their hands, and held their breath completely.

Then, they heard Lin Feng say: "What awaits our Tang Dynasty is not just a simple change of emperor. More importantly... there is a rebellion by the Jinchai family inside, and two countries that have been coveting it for a long time are about to send troops to invade!"

"Until then……"

Lin Feng looked at everyone and said in a low voice: "With internal and external troubles, and difficulties both inside and outside, what will the Tang Dynasty become? Can you imagine it?"

Everyone's heart tightened and their faces turned pale.

It was not until this moment, until this moment, that they finally understood what a life-and-death day today was for the Tang Dynasty!
If there was no Lin Feng, if Lin Feng was really killed by the Four Symbols Organization, if Lin Feng had not found out the conspiracy of the Four Symbols Organization... they really didn't dare to imagine what the result would be.

Even someone as calm as Fang Xuanling, the look he gave Lin Feng at this moment was filled with fear and relief.

Fortunately, there is Lin Feng in the Tang Dynasty!
At this moment, everyone had this thought in their hearts!

"If it weren't for Lin Shaoqing today, the consequences would be disastrous!"

"Yes, yes, Lin Shaoqing is saving the Tang Dynasty!"

All the officials could not help but speak up.

This time, they were no longer flattering deliberately, but were speaking from the heart.

Hearing this, Lin Feng just smiled and cupped his hands: "As the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, it is my duty to find out the truth. I don't deserve you to say that."

Lin Feng can say this, but how can others take it for granted?

After all, their interests are integrated with the Tang Dynasty. If anything unexpected happens to the Tang Dynasty, they will not have a good ending either.

So what Lin Feng did was equivalent to saving their interests.

Fang Xuanling said, "Zide, please come to my house when you have time. I will personally host a banquet to celebrate for you."

"Mr. Lin, come to my house tonight. I have more delicious food!" Changsun Wuji actually took the initiative to speak. This was the first time he took the initiative to invite a young man like Lin Feng.

"And I……"

"No one can snatch it from me."

Other officials at the Shangshu level also extended invitations to Lin Feng.

If Lin Feng only solved the Four Symbols Organization, then if Lin Feng was promoted again, he would be at the same level as them. They would pay attention to it, but would not fight for it.

But things are different now.

Lin Feng not only solved the Four Symbols Organization, but also found out the deeper hidden secrets in one go, solving the internal and external troubles for the Tang Dynasty in advance. This achievement is likely to make Lin Feng leap above them.

This requires them not only to pay attention to Lin Feng, but also to make friends with him.

Lin Feng is very good at networking, so when faced with the invitations from the big guys, he naturally responded with a smile so as not to let anyone feel looked down upon.

Seeing Lin Feng surrounded by bigwigs above the third rank, Wei Zheng and Dai Zhou couldn't help but sigh. When they met Lin Feng for the first time, they knew that Lin Feng was no ordinary fish in the pond and would become a great man in the future.

But they never expected that this day would come so soon.

And this great man is probably someone they all look up to!
As for other officials, let alone, they were just envious and in awe, no one was jealous. After all, Lin Feng's future was destined to be something they could only look up to, and how could they dare to be jealous of such a height that they could not even reach with flattery?
In this way, Lin Feng spent a lot of time and effort, and finally sent all the officials away with satisfaction.

Seeing Lin Feng wiping his sweat, Sun Fujia couldn't help but smile and said, "Zide, congratulations. From today on, you will be completely different from the past."

"Hi."

Lin Feng couldn't help but wave his hands: "Doctor Sun, please don't laugh at me. I'm almost dying of exhaustion."

Sun Fujia smiled and said, "But how did you know the true face of the Western Region Merchant Force? I remember that you didn't know it before you faked your death."

"This... is a pleasant surprise."

"An unexpected surprise?" Sun Fujia was puzzled.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Doctor Sun still remember Wang San?"

"Wang San?"

Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he said, "The problematic Wang San in the residence of Wang Jian, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple?"

"Yes, that's him."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "When investigating Wang Jian's murder, I found out about Wang San's problem. Wang San was obviously cautious and cunning, but he acted as honest as a fool."

"This made me realize that Wang San must have some secrets hiding in the palace, so I kept Wang San here on purpose, just to find out what Wang San wanted to do hiding in the palace."

"result……"

He looked at Sun Fujia, raised his lips, and said with a smile: "Before I faked my death, Wang San was no different from before. He worked diligently and never left the palace. At that time, I thought Wang San might have nothing to do with the Four Elephants Organization and other forces... But who would have thought that Wang San would leave the palace as soon as the news of my death came out."

Sun Fujia's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Is he worried that you will doubt him?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, he was very cautious. He was probably afraid that I would become suspicious of him when investigating the case, so he didn't dare to do anything. Once I died, he thought the crisis was over, so he took action."

"Then……"

He laughed and said, "I discovered that Wang San actually went to the Hu Ren Restaurant and met with the Western Regions merchants... and it was then that I realized that Wang San was actually a member of the Western Regions merchant force!"

Sun Fujia was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Feng's words, then shook his head and sighed: "I never thought that he was actually from the Western Region Merchant Force... No wonder the Western Region Merchant Force was able to find out the corruption secrets of so many officials. Could it be that they have planted spies in many officials' residences?"

"more or less."

Lin Feng said: "Through Wang San, I finally found the most hidden Western Region merchant force. Now that I have found them, it won't be difficult to investigate their identities and backgrounds."

Sun Fujia nodded: "Indeed..."

Suddenly, Sun Fujia thought of something, and he said, "No wonder the guards in the Western Region caravan we hid in when we returned to Chang'an from Cizhou looked so elite and acted so methodically... It seems that they are all real soldiers who have received special training. I wonder, how can a caravan be so elite?"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "In fact, at that time, I already suspected that the Western Region Caravan might be related to a certain court in the Western Region, but I didn't expect that there was not just one court behind it, but two."

"Yes, who would have thought that behind a mysterious organization, there would be two countries controlling it!"

As he spoke, Sun Fujia suddenly looked at Lin Feng and said, "The Four Symbols Organization, the Golden Hairpin Family, and the Western Region Merchant Forces... Any one of these three forces has the power to shake or even destroy a country, but in the end, when they met you, they were all destroyed by you alone!"

"Zide, sometimes I can't help but wonder... Tell me, were you sent by God to save the Tang Dynasty? Even if I accompanied you to do all this, when I look back, I can't help but think that it was a miracle!"

Lin Feng couldn't help feeling a little dazed as he listened to Sun Fujia's words.

Looking back at everything he had done after traveling back to the Tang Dynasty, he had the same feeling.

He came to the Tang Dynasty because of Kui Su's plan to fake his death and escape.

As a result... he took advantage of this opportunity to deceive the Four Symbols Organization and reverse the situation!

Also, the first and most important case he faced when he came to Datang was the Zhao Deshun case!
The case of Zhao Deshun was caused by the conflict between father and son!
For the sake of his son, Zhao Deshun took the blame for his son and admitted to the murder.

For the sake of his father's reputation, the son took the initiative to confess the crime of murder.

As a result, the father took the blame for the son, and the son took the blame for the father, but the real murderer went unpunished!

And what about the Four Symbols Organization that he has been investigating?
The final case, at its core, is actually about father and son!

However, the father and son Li Yuan and Li Shimin were completely different from the father and son in the Zhao Deshun case.

This is no longer the relationship between a father and his son, and a son and his father, but under the temptation of imperial power, the relationship between father and son has been severed by power!

They are father and son, but the difference between them is like heaven and hell!
It seemed as if everything that happened today had been foreshadowed and destined the moment he traveled to the Tang Dynasty.

"Maybe it's true..."

Lin Feng laughed: "Maybe the Tang Dynasty is really too beautiful, and God doesn't want it to be destroyed, so he let me come here."

When Sun Fujia saw that Lin Feng answered him seriously, he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Lin Feng laughed out loud. He put his arm around Sun Fujia's shoulders and said, "Let's go. Now all the burdens on us have been lifted. We can finally relax completely... I'll treat you. We won't leave until we're drunk!"

After listening to Lin Feng's words, Sun Fujia finally reacted. The burden that had been weighing on them for several months was really resolved, and everything was really over.

He smiled and nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Lin Feng turned his head and looked at Zhao Shiwu and Zhao Xieyang, saying, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"

Zhao Shiwu and Zhao Xieyang looked at each other, then both smiled and nodded, and hurriedly followed.

As he walked, Lin Feng looked at Zhao Shiwu and said, "Shiwu, I'm actually a little surprised that you're here."

"Accident?" Zhao Shiwu was puzzled.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "After all, you have been mourning for me as my adopted son for the past three days. I heard that in order to mourn for me, you never left my mourning hall except to go to the toilet, so I thought you were mourning for me today as well."

Zhao Shiwu scratched his head awkwardly after hearing this and said, "In fact, I didn't want to come at first. In my heart, nothing is more important than mourning for my adoptive father. But Miss Xiao persuaded me to come. She said that I am not representing myself, but you, my adoptive father. If I come here, I can let everyone know that you have relatives alive!"

"And Miss Xiao also said that if I didn't come, then it would be very likely that someone would forget everything my foster father had done. My foster father had an accident because of the Four Symbols Organization. How could I tolerate them forgetting my foster father? That's why I came here."

Listening to Zhao Shiwu's words, Lin Feng suddenly fell silent.

Sun Fujia was sharp-minded and was the first to notice Lin Feng's abnormality.

He said, "Zide, what's wrong?"

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, saying: "I was wrong."

"What?" Sun Fujia was puzzled.

At some point, the heavy snow stopped, the dark clouds slowly dissipated, a little sunlight penetrated the clouds, and the sky was filled with light.

Lin Feng looked at the light in the sky and said, "I thought I had tricked Man'er, but now it seems that Man'er already knew that the person lying in the coffin was not me."

"What do you mean?" Sun Fujia asked.

Lin Feng nodded: "With you here, my credit cannot be taken away by others. Man'er is so smart, she would not fail to think of this."

"So, she said these words, obviously to stimulate Fifteen, because she knew that only these reasons related to my affairs after death could persuade Fifteen."

"And the reason why she asked Fifteen to come here should be... to assist or protect me. Man'er doesn't know much about the government, and she doesn't know who she can trust. So Fifteen is the only person she can absolutely trust. I believe that as long as he is in front of me, he will definitely be able to help me."

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Zhao Shiwu couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Is that so?"

Lin Feng nodded: "It seems that Man'er stopped Dai Gong from burying me in order to help me..."

As he spoke, Lin Feng looked at Sun Fujia and said, "When I heard that Dai Gong wanted to bury me, I actually considered secretly finding Dai Gong to stop him. After all, my disguise skills are not very advanced. Two days of changes in my body may cause some damage to my disguise. Once I am buried in public, it is very likely that someone will find something wrong."

"But in the end, before I could go find Dai Gong, I heard that Man'er wanted to keep vigil for me and stopped Dai Gong. I felt relieved and thought that Man'er and I were really in tune with each other. But now I think about it..."

Lin Feng said slowly: "I'm afraid Man'er had already discovered that the person was not me at that time. She had already guessed that I faked my death and escaped. So in order to prevent my secret from being discovered, she stopped Dai Gong."

Sun Fujia had been in contact with Xiao Maner a lot these days. When he heard Lin Feng's words and recalled what Xiao Maner had said to him, he couldn't help but say, "So it seems that she persuaded me to come here to help you... And in order to help you, Miss Xiao did not hesitate to regard herself as your wife, and even said that she would never marry anyone else in the future..."

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Zide, this love cannot be betrayed!"

Lin Feng pursed his lips, and his mind couldn't help but recall the scenes of his acquaintance with Xiao Maner. He recalled what Xiao Maner had told everyone, that she and he had secretly decided to spend their lives together, and that she wanted to be his wife to keep vigil over his body... Although Xiao Maner already knew that he was not dead, those words could not be taken back once they were out.

"Yes, this feeling cannot be betrayed..."

Lin Feng just nodded, and suddenly, he heard Zhao Shiwu's voice: "Godfather, Miss Xiao, Miss Xiao is at the gate of the East Palace!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng suddenly raised his head.

Then he saw a figure standing outside the open gate of the East Palace.

She was wearing a red dress, had a pretty face and watery eyes, and was looking at herself without blinking.

Suddenly, a ray of light from the sky passed through the clouds and fell directly on her, making her look like a fairy. In Lin Feng's sight, her whole body seemed to be glowing.

Lin Feng stared at the fairy-like Xiao Maner in a daze, and looked at the smile that Xiao Maner gave him with her eyes curved.

He suddenly laughed too.

Lin Feng quickened his pace and started running.

Soon he arrived in front of Xiao Maner.

Looking at Xiao Maner's curved eyes, Lin Feng smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"How can I not come to your rebirth day?"

Xiao Maner looked at Lin Feng and said softly, "Now that you are alive, what should I do?"

Lin Feng understood what Xiao Maner, this smart woman, meant. He smiled and grabbed Xiao Maner's hand: "What else can I do? Of course I have to go home."

"Go home, what next?"

"Everyone in the world knows that you are my wife, so of course I have to make up the most crucial step."

"Wedding?"

"Bridal chamber!"

“But it’s daytime now.”

"It's okay, I just like daytime..."

Under the skylight, two shadows overlapped on the wide road.

While saying sweet words, Lin Feng turned around and waved to Sun Fujia and others, indicating that their plan of not returning until drunk should be changed.

Then, he turned around with a smile, ignoring the resentful looks of Sun Fujia and others.

Looking at the bright sky ahead, listening to the people around him talking about the demise of the mysterious organization, and feeling the warmth and softness of the woman's hand beside him, Lin Feng smiled.

"This is the Tang Dynasty I want."

“Everything is just right.”
