Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 248
Even Gao Lishi could hear that there was clearly a provocation hidden in the words, his eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't speak, but took the initiative to take two steps back.

The meaning is obvious, he does not intend to meddle with either party.

"The brocade box is something that the 'Nilin Xuanwu' took a lot of effort to find. Although it was obtained by Li Canghai, they will definitely not give up easily and will try to get it back in secret. If the brocade box is sent overnight to Chang'an, I'm afraid the brocade box will be robbed by thieves if it doesn't reach Chang'an at all, I just made the most appropriate method in the event of possible accidents." Li Tan said calmly and calmly.

However, unexpectedly, Li Longji didn't even look at them, but stared straight at the brocade box in front of him.In his eyes, the elixir of life in the brocade box is the most important thing.

"Shut up!" Li Longji slapped the dragon case suddenly, and said angrily: "I don't care where this brocade box comes from, I want to know how to open this brocade box? You have been arguing for a long time. Think of a way?"

Yang Guozhong was taken aback. He didn't seem to expect that Li Longji would suddenly get angry. He knelt down and shouted loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm going to look for craftsmen right now, and I must open the brocade box!"

Li Tan sneered, and said lightly: "Master Yang, don't bother, there is only one way to open the brocade box, and that is to find the only key to the brocade box."

"Key? What key?" Li Longji questioned as the anger on his face gradually dissipated.

"Grandpa Huang doesn't know. I have shown this brocade box to the successor of Gongsheng. According to him, this brocade box is a masterpiece of the Mohist mechanism. If you want to open the brocade box safely, you need to find a key. Open."

Li Longji sat powerlessly on the dragon chair, and his radiant eyes suddenly became dull. He seemed to think of something, and muttered to himself: "Yes, I remembered. The key, just died in depression... Could it be that I want to follow in the footsteps of Emperor Gaozong?"

Seeing this, Gao Lishi quickly knelt down and comforted him: "Your Majesty, be careful of the dragon's body! In this world, if there is a knot, there will be a solution. Since King Jianning has found out this matter, he will be able to find the key, my lord. Yes or no?"

Gao Lishi turned his head to look at Li Tan, as if waiting for him to agree to the matter.

Li Tan looked at Gao Lishi, and pondered: "General Gao thinks too highly of me, but there is nothing I can do about it."

"Oh? Tan'er, what can you do? As long as you can find the key, I can promise you any request!" Li Longji said excitedly.

Li Tan's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "The brocade box is what 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' is looking for, so they probably have the key in their hands, as long as they patrol 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' to track it down, there must be results. "

Gao Lishi was afraid that Li Longji's mood would fluctuate again, so he quickly echoed: "Your Majesty, what King Jianning said is reasonable, and this old slave thinks it is feasible."

Yang Guozhong stroked his beard, and followed suit: "I think so too. However, I feel that this matter is of great importance, and I need to use someone close to me to investigate. I recommended Liu Tong. Liu Tong is the governor, and he once exposed Liang Xiu's conspiracy. He is far superior to others in terms of ability and mind, and I think it is most appropriate for him to investigate."

Li Longji thought for a moment, then asked Gao Lishi, "Lishi, what do you think?"

Gao Lishi looked at Li Tan, hesitated, and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave thinks that King Jianning is the best choice. King Jianning is highly skilled in martial arts, and most of his subordinates are elite soldiers, so he will be able to find the whereabouts of the key as soon as possible." .”

Li Tan smiled slightly. He seemed to have guessed that Gao Lishi would say this, so he stepped forward and said, "General Gao thinks highly of Xiao Wang. Jianning knows that all of this comes from Li Canghai. Canghai is none other than him. Judging from his smashing of the 'Nilin Xuanwu' conspiracy, this man's thoughtfulness is unmatched, and this king believes that it is the safest way to leave this matter to Li Canghai."

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate." Yang Guozhong looked at Li Tan and said seriously, "Your Majesty, this matter has something to do with your Majesty's immortality. It's a very important matter. How can you hand it over to a small county magistrate?"

"Why not? Although Li Canghai has a humble official position, he is extremely capable. If Liu Tong is really as Master Yang said, why didn't he discover the 'Nilin Xuanwu' earlier? Instead, he brought Liang Xiu to the throne after Li Canghai solved a series of things. Captured? This king has been in Luoyang for several years, and he still has this insight. In terms of ability, ten Liu Tongs are not as good as one Li Canghai. What's more, Li Canghai has fought against 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' several times, and his understanding of this organization is far away. He surpasses others, but he and 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' are in the same situation, and the other party wants to get rid of him and hurry up, in order to survive, I believe he will go all out!"

Li Tan's words made Yang Guozhong a little helpless to refute. As he said, Li Canghai would work hard to investigate in order to survive, which is understandable.

"The two of you should stop arguing for now. It all depends on what His Majesty decides." Gao Lishi said from the side.

Li Longji thought for a long time before he said, "Who is this Li Canghai? Is he really capable?"

"Your Majesty, Li Canghai was a Jinshi of Tianbao ten years ago, so he can be regarded as a student of His Majesty, and the post of Zhengyang County Magistrate is also an official position that His Majesty has drawn with his ink pen." Gao Lishi replied.

Li Longji was stunned, no wonder he felt that this name had been heard before.In the tenth year of Tianbao, there was indeed such a person who was promoted to Jinshi, and the list was indeed presented to him. However, at that time, he was having fun with the imperial concubine in the Liyuan, so he just sketched it on the list and gave him the position of magistrate of Zhengyang County. .

"If your majesty thinks something is wrong, why don't you invite him to come and see him?" Gao Lishi thought that Li Longji had new concerns, so he suggested.

Hearing this, Yang Guozhong suddenly sneered, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, His Majesty Long Jia came to Luoyang, and all the officials in Duji Province came to greet him, but Li Canghai did not come. This man You are so bold that even the Holy Majesty doesn't care about it!"

Li Tan frowned, thinking that the most worrying thing still happened.

He knew early in the morning that Li Canghai did not come to Luoyang to greet him, and he was afraid that someone would use this as an excuse to make trouble for Li Canghai, and now it really is.

"The Zhengyang where Li Canghai is located was flooded some time ago, coupled with the matter of breaking the dragon stele, the people were put first, and it is understandable that he did not visit His Majesty in time. This also just shows that Li Canghai is an extremely responsible person and will investigate' It is definitely a wise move to entrust him with the matter of Nilin Xuanwu." Li Tan changed his mind and tried his best to defend Li Canghai.

Yang Guozhong was displeased, although he didn't have much contact with Li Tan, but Li Tan confronted him made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Longji's face sank like water, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Lishi, send someone to Zhengyang quickly, and bring Li Canghai to see me."

Gao Lishi bowed down and said, "This old slave will send someone there."
