Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Three days is not a long time, but for Li Ke, these three days are like years.Because, the Chang'an competition is in full swing, and so far it has been very smooth.However, the Zhang Hui case has not progressed at all.

Zhang Hui's case was like a thin layer of paper, covering his heart, so he couldn't get a little joy from the success of the Chang'an race.The more progress the case made, the more he felt that Zhang Hui's case must have something to do with Chang'an Sai.Also, the details of Sun Ning, the striker of Cui's Dongxiang team, have not been found out yet. Is this person getting more and more popular in the last few games? He is no worse than Ye Xi.Therefore, this made Li Ke feel that there must be something suspicious about Sun Ning.

For Li Ke, Changan Race is very important if it is important.Because, by holding this event, he will definitely leave an impression on Li Shimin of being serious and capable.It's not important, and there's nothing worth paying attention to.Because, as long as something unexpected happens, if he pushes all the responsibilities to Cuju Temple afterwards, even if something goes wrong, he won't be able to deal with it.Li Shimin will not force him to charge him with any crimes, but the result will be that he will bear people who dare not take responsibility, and no one will be willing to rely on him in the future.

So, after thinking about it, he decided to call everyone together in the study to study the competition and the Zhang Hui case.

At night, because of the cuju competition in Chang'an City, many taverns were empty, and there were drinkers in twos and threes talking about the teams and players in the cuju competition.And Li Shimin was also very cooperative in not having a curfew, so in order to maintain order, the Jinwu Guard added a lot of guards.So, will there be a pair of soldiers holding long spears on the street?

Hanwang Mansion is particularly unique in Chang'an City, because the mansion does not have the splendor and splendor of a royal family.Only the candlelight in Li Ke's study was flickering, crowded with people, and the voices of talking came from inside from time to time.As for the door of the study, Chen Qi and the "Shuangsha in Black" carefully guarded the door of the study, watching the strangers approaching all the time.

Sitting in the study were Li Ke's confidantes, Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, Su Dingfang, Xu Jingzong, and Deng Tongda, the captain of Chang'an County who had recently joined him.Except for Cen Wenwen and Chu Suiliang, all the members of Li Ke's small group were present.

Ma Zhou was the first to speak. He first narrated the results of the three-day competition and the detailed process to Li Ke. One tie ranked second with seven points. Group B Taigan ranked second with two wins and one draw with seven points, and Blue Sky ranked second with two wins and one loss with six points. Group C Dongxiang ranked second with three wins and three wins with nine points First, the Qianniu Guards ranked second with six points after two wins and one loss. The Dongyue team in the D group ranked first with nine points after three games and three wins, and the left and right backs ranked second with seven points after two wins and one draw.

These eight teams have successfully advanced and will participate in the next second round, which is the knockout round.The rule of the knockout match is two pairs, the specific details are: the first and No.2 of the first group will face the second and No.1 of the second group respectively, the winning team will advance, and the losing team will be eliminated.The third round is the semi-finals. The four advanced teams will compete according to the elimination system, and the winners will enter the finals.The fourth round is the final: the two teams that win the semi-finals will win or lose in one game. "

"Well, I'm very happy that the competition went so smoothly." Li Ke said with a slight smile, "This is all thanks to your Cuju Temple. When the competition is over, I must reward you well."

"Your Highness, thank you. This is the regulation that you drew up in advance. We are just acting according to the regulation. We dare not take credit for it." Everyone hurriedly cupped their hands.

"It's your credit, it's your credit. There is nothing to refuse." Li Ke said, "It's just that the next competition will be more intense. You have to continue to work hard and don't slack off."

"The ministers understand that they will not disappoint His Highness's expectations." Ma Zhou took the lead and said.

Li Ke glanced at Ma Zhou, knowing that his abilities were more than enough for the competition, so he stopped talking about the Chang'an competition, and changed the topic to Zhang Hui's case, "Dingbo, how did you investigate Zhang Hui's case in Chang'an County? "Deng Tongda has become Li Ke's confidant, and Li Ke no longer calls his official position bluntly, but just calls Deng Tongda affectionately.

"His Royal Highness, the case is not going very smoothly. The Weichen and the head-capturing left wing have inspected the scene many times, but they have not found any useful clues. In addition, the autopsy conducted by Wu Zuo found that the cause of Zhang Hui's death is unknown. He didn't have any scars on his whole body. This is the most peculiar part of this case, we even doubt whether the murderer transported the deceased to Yongxingfang after killing in other places." Deng Tongda said in one breath these days The clues found were told to Li Ke.

"Is there no other clue? You got such a result after three days?" Li Ke wondered.

"Your Highness, this humble minister is incompetent, and His Highness needs to make amends." Deng Tongda looked embarrassed.Because, the first time Li Ke gave him the task, he did it like this.

"En." Li Ke asked unwillingly, "Isn't there any clue in the autopsy report in Chang'an County to prove that Zhang Hui was the cause of death?"

Deng Tongda looked ashamed, "It's a humble minister who failed His Highness's expectations, and His Highness please punish him."

"All of you also talk about your own opinions. Is this case related to Chang'an Sai, and how can we solve the case as soon as possible." Li Ke seemed a little irritable, and his tone was not as friendly as it was at the beginning, completely ignoring Deng Tongda beside him .

"Your Highness, we have to thoroughly investigate whether or not this matter has anything to do with Chang'an Sai." Ma Zhou Zhengyi said, "The murderer must be punished by the law, no matter who he kills." Because, if Li Ke didn't investigate thoroughly here, Zhang Hui, as a gangster, did not sue, his case would be shelved indefinitely, and it would definitely be settled in the end.That's why Ma Zhou said that.

In history, Ma Zhou's official career started from the position of supervisory censor, so Ma Zhou would definitely not sit idly by on such a careless matter of human life.

"Weichen believes that the most urgent task is to find out the cause of Zhang Hui's death as soon as possible. Only by knowing how Zhang Hui died can we determine whether Yongxingfang is the scene of the first murder, and whether the murderer has something to do with Chang'an Sai." Xu Jingzong waited for Ma Zhou to finish speaking, and put forward his own views.He is not as righteous as Ma Zhou said. He looks at this issue from Li Ke's perspective.

"Did the deceased suffer from a poison that could not even be detected by hand?" Su Dingfang asked tentatively, "Is there such a possibility?"

"No matter what kind of poison it is, as long as it enters the human body, it will change." Deng Tongda explained, "Therefore, such things as Captain Su said will not happen."

"Is there anything suspicious at the murder scene?" Liu Rengui also began to doubt, "Is there not even a trace of fighting?"

"Weichen and the head-hunting left wing conducted detailed investigations on the scene many times, and they all found some useful clues." Deng Tongda replied seeing Li Ke.

"Your Highness, since Zhang Hui is a hooligan in Chang'an City, where did he go that night, what did he do, and who did he have contact with, those comrades who were with him must know that Chang'an County will not let go of such an obvious clues?" Ma Zhou said suddenly.

After listening to Ma Zhou's words, Li Ke also looked at Deng Tongda. He was concerned but confused, and completely ignored such obvious clues.

"Your Highness does not know that after the Zhang Hui case happened, it was Wang Fu who immediately took over the case. Therefore, when Weichen was appointed by His Highness to assist Wang Fu in the thorough investigation of the case the next day, he asked County Magistrate Wang about the case. , He said that Zhang Hui's party had already fled, and no witnesses were caught. I immediately inspected Zhang Hui's party with the head-capturing left wing, and they seemed to have disappeared without a trace. There is no one in Chang'an City. Shadow." Deng Tongda explained.

"It seems that Li Tai still wants to prevent this king from thoroughly investigating this matter!" Li Ke sighed.

"Your Highness, King Wei is so bothered about this matter, is the murder related to him?" Su Dingfang spoke bluntly, expressing his doubts.Everyone looked at him and wondered how he was so bold to doubt this matter on Li Tai, the fourth prince of the current emperor.

"It's too much to decide. With Li Tai's personality, he doesn't bother to do such a thing. Besides, it doesn't do him any real good to send someone to assassinate Zhang Hui. If he wants to deal with the king, he won't use such an obvious method. " Li Ke saw the way everyone looked at Su Dingfang, knew what they were thinking, and immediately explained to Su Dingfang.However, in his heart, he likes Su Dingfang's straightforward character. A general like Su Dingfang, as long as he looks for a person, he will follow him no matter whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire.Therefore, Li Ke suddenly saw his goal in the next few years in Su Dingfang.

"Does that have something to do with King Qi? After all, the kidnapping of Ye Xi's family was done by the people of King Qi's residence." Liu Rengui also expressed his doubts.

When Deng Tongda heard that King Qi Liyou had kidnapped Ye Xi's family, he was shocked. How could Chang'an County not know about such a thing.But after thinking about it, he immediately felt relieved.Now that Li Ke knew about it, the kidnapping case must have failed.Immediately, he felt a lot more relaxed, because if King Qi Li You kidnapped Ye Xi's family, it would be difficult for him.

Li Ke shook his head and said to himself, "Li You has such a motive, but his subordinates may not have the ability to kill people invisible, and there is no one in Li You's house who can make us helpless. Therefore, this matter must be It wasn't Li You who did it, and killing Zhang Hui has nothing to do with Chang'an Sai, he wouldn't do such a thing."

"Your Highness, no matter what, I think we should start from two aspects: one is to search the whereabouts of Zhang Hui's remaining party with all his strength, and find out the specific activities of Zhang Hui that night, including who he came into contact with. The second In case of Zhang Hui's body, an autopsy is still needed to find out the cause of Zhang Hui's death."

"Well, this is the only plan for now." Li Ke also seemed a little
