Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 243
"Curiosity is a good thing, but excessive curiosity can kill you." Di Hentian glanced at Xin Jia, who was drenched in cold sweat, and waved his hand: "Okay, you go down first, remember to do everything in secret. There is still one more thing to do." An Lushan is about to come to Luoyang, you go to contact Master Yang's envoy and tell me that I have something important to discuss in detail."

After Xin Jia left, Di Hentian paced casually in the courtyard without worrying about being noticed.

While thinking about the problem, he paced up and down, and soon came to Wang Buquan's alchemy room.

Di Hentian paused in front of the alchemy room, then pushed open the door and entered.

There was a person sitting quietly in the alchemy room, his back was facing the door, his face could not be seen, but from his figure, it could be seen that he was a young man.

"How long are you going to imprison me?" He noticed someone coming in, and asked without turning his head.

"It's not imprisoning, but protecting you." Di Hentian said with a smile on his face, hands behind his back.

The man snorted and said coldly: "Protect me? It's ridiculous. You imprisoned me here and didn't allow me to see anyone. Now you say you're protecting me. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"If you think so, I don't mind treating you as a fool." Di Hentian walked to a row of collapsed wooden frames, picked up a porcelain bottle and played with it a few times, and said lightly: "If we didn't hide you early in the morning And here, you have long since fallen into the hands of the government for the crime of murder. No matter what, I am your savior."

"Joke, when do I need your help?" the man said angrily.

"You should remember Liu Tie, right?" Di Hentian said with great interest while playing with the porcelain vase.

The man was silent.

Di Hentian smiled, and said calmly: "Liu Tie hid some evidence, and these evidences are not good for you. But don't worry, those evidences have been burned, and now the murderer has been brought to justice, and has nothing to do with you."

The man's shoulders visibly shook, and after a while, he said, "You said the murderer has been brought to justice?"

"That's right, the real culprit is Lu Jitong. You must be familiar with this name, right?" Di Hentian glanced at the man and said slightly.

The man fell silent.

"Isn't that exactly what you want?" Di Hentian looked at him with a half-smile, "As long as he dies, you can regain everything you lost. If I were you, I would do the same."

"...how do you know so much?" the man asked.

"Hehe, I know far more than you imagined. I will give you a chance to join us and work for us. I will guarantee your success in the future." Di Hentian said lightly.

"Why should I join you?" the man asked cautiously.

"Because you have no choice." Di Hentian said slowly with his hands behind his back, "You are a smart person, you should know that joining us is your only way to survive."

"Why did you choose me?" The man didn't know what to think, and asked after a while.

"Because you are cruel and ruthless, you can use any means to achieve your goals." Di Hentian squinted his eyes, unable to see whether it was praise or indifference, he smiled and said: "You are not willing to be ordinary, and you don't want to live in the shadow of others , so you will definitely join us."

The man didn't speak, Di Hentian's words seemed to make him fall into deep thought.

Di Hentian didn't seem to be in a hurry, he walked to the threshold and said, "I'll give you a day to make a decision."

"I want to know what kind of organization you are?" the man suddenly asked.

"Inverted Scale Xuanwu."

Di Hentian left a few words proudly, and then disappeared into the courtyard with strides.

The 12th year of Tianbao is only half a month away from the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A hundred miles to the west of Luoyang, a team of thousands of people is coming towards Luoyang City.

I saw that the carriages in the team were neat, the battles were bright, the flags were fluttering, and the drums were singing together.Although there are many people, they are orderly.

At Zhulongpo outside Luoyang City, hundreds of officials in various official uniforms stretched their necks and looked to the west, as if they were all waiting.

"He Sima, are there any officials from Duji Province who have not arrived?" Liu Tong, the governor, stretched his neck and looked at the west, asking.

He Sima looked back at the officials of all ranks standing beside him, and said, "My lord, the officials of all the county governments in Duji Province, except for the magistrate of Zhengyang County, all the other officials are here."

"Zhengyang County is so courageous, the Holy Majesty is coming to Luoyang, how dare he not come to pick him up?" Liu Tong was furious, "Who is the county magistrate of Zhengyang County?"

"My lord, the magistrate of Zhengyang County is named Li Canghai." He Sima flipped through the roster in his hand and said.

"Li Canghai?" Liu Tong was a little stunned, and then he remembered that the magistrate of Zhengyang County was Li Canghai.

After a few months, he did not expect to hear this annoying name again.

When arresting Liang Xiu, Li Canghai had contradicted him, but Li Canghai was so eloquent and caught him again, he couldn't do anything about him, which made him very annoyed.

After finally finding a way to send him to Zhengyang City, so that he would not compete with himself for credit, he did not expect that Li Canghai would dare to beat the yamen servant he sent there.

This is not beating the yamen servant, it is clearly beating the face of the governor's mansion.

All the officials in Duji Province knew that Liu Tong would always take revenge. Many people had the mentality of watching a show, and wanted to see how Liu Tong taught Li Canghai a lesson.

But unexpectedly, Liu Tong didn't bother Li Canghai.

Judging from Liu Tong's performance today, if He Sima hadn't looked through the list, he might have forgotten that there is Li Canghai in Duji Province.

"My lord, do you want to send someone to Zhengyang City again?" He Sima asked cautiously seeing Liu Tong's expression turned ugly.

"Since he doesn't want to come, tell him never to come again, hehe." Liu Tong stroked his beard, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.

Hearing this, He Sima sighed and thought, the magistrate of Zhengyang County might be in trouble this time.

"He Sima, how are the arrangements for the guard?" Liu Tong asked after thinking about it.

"Returning to my lord, everything has been properly arranged. The palace will be guarded by the Jinwu Guard and the Imperial Forest Army. With General Huangfu present, everything will be safe. Don't worry, my lord." He Sima bowed and replied.

Liu Tong glanced at the majestic Huangfu Kun who was wearing armor not far away, and frowned involuntarily, but then returned to the original state.

"How's the situation in the city?" Liu Tong's eyes were cold, and his voice was quite cold.

He Sima looked troubled, he hesitated, and said, "According to your lord's order, all the beggars and refugees in Luoyang City were driven out of the city. But..."

"But what?"

"But, is it really appropriate to do this?" He Sima asked with his body lowered.

"What's inappropriate? Leave a group of untouchables in the city, who can guarantee that there will be assassins hidden among them? Remember, the safety of the Holy One is above all else." Liu Tong taught Sima He severely, and said : "If an accident happens to the Holy Majesty, even if we grow a hundred more heads, it won't be enough to chop off."

He Sima repeatedly nodded in agreement, he could only sigh and then stepped aside.
