Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 112
Only then did Li Canghai understand what the official system of the Tang Dynasty was all about.

Officials in the Tang Dynasty were divided into nine grades and thirty grades according to Zheng, Cong, Shang and Xia.

The cumbersome grading made Li Canghai feel dizzy. After listening to it for a long time, he finally understood the relationship. Simply put, it is grading according to the wealth of each state and county.

Those who are richer are called upper, followed by lower.

Li Canghai always thought that he was the magistrate of Qipin County in his previous life. After listening to Huangfu Kun's introduction, he realized that he was just a Grade [-] Cong, and Zhengyang County under his jurisdiction was still a poor county.

As an accompanying capital, Luoyang generally has people from the royal family sitting in the town. At the same time, the governor is set as the highest official.

During the reign of Taizong, according to the situation of mountains and rivers, the whole country was divided into ten regions.By the 21st year of Kaiyuan, Gyeonggi-do, Duji-do, etc. were added, and the scope of the various provinces gradually became customized.

Duji Dao includes the prefectures near Luoyang, Henan Province, and its highest official is Shangzhou Inspector, and the officials follow the third grade, and they are out-and-out officials of the frontier.After all, even one-third of an acre of land in Zhengyang County should be managed by Duji Province.

Li Canghai rubbed his chin and began to ponder. After a while, he suddenly said: "General, I wonder if you can invite Lord Inspector Shi to come to Luoyang City?"

"Naturally, although this general has no right to interfere with government affairs, he is the general of the Jinwu Guard guarding Luoyang after all." Huangfu Kun looked at him suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you looking for the governor?"

"The time has come, the general will naturally know, since the general can invite the governor, then I will trouble the general." Li Canghai clasped his fists and cupped his hands at him, solemnly said.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Huangfu Kun didn't ask anymore, he knew that Li Canghai always made decisions before acting, since he entrusted this matter to him, he had to trust him completely.

"I will write a letter immediately, and send it to Ruzhou Governor's Mansion overnight with my bodyguard."

After finishing speaking, Huangfu Kun led his people and hurriedly left the place.

Let Chang Feng and other yamen servants go back to Zhengyang County first, and after dealing with all the matters, Li Canghai took advantage of the night and hurried back to Luoyang.

When we returned to Luoyang, the sky was dark and it was almost morning.

Luoyang City seems to have suffered a small-scale battle. Some houses in the southeast of the city were severely damaged, and some houses were still emitting green smoke, leaving a mess everywhere.

Xue Xuan led a group of soldiers and yamen servants to put out the fire, appease the refugees, and register the victims.

"Miss Xue, what's the situation? Are there any casualties?" Li Canghai only took one look, and he knew that the 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' must have done it. Seeing many suffering people lying on the side of the road, his anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Xue Xuan helped an old woman bandage her arm, stood up, frowned and said: "This is a poor area, most of the houses are built with wood and grass, just now the Master Registrar counted, and the number of casualties is already twenty the rest."

"Twenty people?" Li Canghai's expression fell instantly, he clenched his fists, and cursed bitterly: "'Ni Lin Xuan Wu', I will settle this account with you sooner or later!"

Seeing the anger on his face, Xue Xuan comforted her, "Mr. Li, don't blame yourself too much. If you hadn't discovered their conspiracy in time, I don't know how many people would have suffered misfortune. Oh, yes, we have solved the problem. The medicine was put in every wine shop, and I had someone post a notice telling those who bought the drink to go to the city gate to get the antidote."

The tense muscles on Li Canghai's face eased a lot. He looked at Xue Xuan approvingly, as if he didn't expect her to be so careful.

Xue Xuan's pretty face was burning hot from his staring, she hurried to the side, and continued to bandage the injured man's wound.

"Canghai, you're back." Li Canghai had just bent over to help pack his things when Di Qing's voice came from behind him.

Di Qing moved like the wind, and she crossed the distance of tens of feet in the blink of an eye. Her pink face was slightly cold, and her brows were frowned, as if she had encountered something difficult to solve.

"Qing'er, why did you go?" Li Canghai saw the fine sweat on the tip of her nose, stood up and wiped her with his sleeve, and asked.

Di Qing muttered angrily, "I don't know what's going on recently, everyone I meet can escape from my hands, it's just unreasonable."

"Huh? What's going on?" Li Canghai asked with a slight frown.

"I went to track down the person who set the fire. He was average in martial arts, and I injured several ribs. It is reasonable to say that he could not escape my pursuit, but when I chased him to the west city, the person suddenly disappeared. Disappeared out of thin air." Di Qing curled her lips, she boasted of her superb martial arts, but was escaped one after another, which made her arrogance a bit unbearable.

"Where in the west city did you chase, and the other party disappeared?" Li Canghai asked after a moment of thought.

"Near the government office." Di Qing wrinkled her nose.

When Li Canghai heard this, his eyes narrowed immediately.

"Qing'er, go and check something for me." Li Canghai said, and whispered in Di Qing's ear.

After Di Qing finished listening, surprise appeared on her face, but she turned and left immediately without any hesitation.

Seeing the intimate actions of the two, Xue Xuan suddenly felt a sense of disappointment in her heart. Seeing Li Canghai's sharp and resolute face, she suddenly became stunned.

"Miss Xue? Miss Xue?"

Seeing that she was a little distracted, Li Canghai yelled twice.

"Ah?" Xue Xuan groaned, and then realized that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly blushed and said, "Mr. Li, what's the matter?"

"Are you okay?" Li Canghai asked with a hint of concern in his tone.

"It's okay, I was just thinking that since 'Nilin Xuanwu' wanted to plunge Luoyang into chaos, why didn't Hongyan come here? Without Hongyan, there would be no 'Fire Melting Gu Worm', so even if the wine was transported to Luoyang, it seemed that it would not be too much trouble." It is very useful." Xue Xuan calmed down her shy thoughts, and said casually.

Li Canghai rubbed his nose and pondered: "This is indeed a mystery, but I think there will always be a time when the truth will be revealed." After a pause, he looked at Xue Xuan and suddenly asked: "Miss Xue, I heard that the gopher The door is good at disguise, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Xue Xuan nodded: "It's true, why did Mr. Li suddenly ask about this?"

"As far as the current situation is concerned, is there anyone in Luoyang City who is good at this technique?" Li Canghai asked after pondering.

"When it comes to the art of disguise, there is only one person in the world who can surpass him, and that is He Xiao." Xue Xuan smiled slightly.

"He Xiao?" Li Canghai was a little surprised.

"He Xiao's martial arts is not high, but he is proficient in all kinds of hidden weapons, and he is best at disguise. Otherwise, how can he become the rudder master of the Luoyang sub-rudder of the Gopher Sect?"

Li Canghai recalled the Kang Xu he had pretended to be at that time, and it suddenly dawned on him that He Xiao could pretend to be so similar to someone he had only met once, it seemed that he did have some tricks.
