Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 281

"Oh? Who is so bold? How dare you pretend to be Di Gong?" Huangfu Kun slapped the table and said angrily.

"Ai~." With a long sigh, Di Ying continued: "At first I didn't know who was so bold as to pretend to be an ancestor. It wasn't until Qing'er told me that I knew that the person pretending to be an ancestor actually had a relationship with my Di family. deep roots."

"Oh? Who?" Li Tan asked suddenly.

"He is the son of my third uncle." Di Ying sighed.

"I heard that Mr. Di had three sons. The first two sons were good-natured and generous, but the youngest son was violent and was kicked out of the family by Mr. Di. I thought these were just legends, but I didn't expect them to be true." Li Tan seemed a little surprised.

"I didn't expect that either. The third uncle named him Hentian, which shows how strong his hatred for his ancestors is." Di Ying sighed, and said: "This is a scandal of the Di family, so there are very few people who know about it. Just now Hearing the prince's reminder, I just remembered that although Cang Hai's ancestors appeared, it is possible that Hean Tian appeared again."

Li Tan nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly frowned and asked, "Is there any connection between Di Hentian and 'Nilin Xuanwu'?"

Di Ying knelt down suddenly, and bowed to Li Tan: "My lord, to be honest, according to Qing'er, Hentian joined the 'Nilin Xuanwu', and he personally arranged everything that happened in Luoyang City. Di Ying is guilty, please punish him."

Li Tan nodded slightly, as if confirming the conjecture in his heart, and said: "Di Hentian has been expelled from the family, and what he did has nothing to do with the Di family. Now the matter is clear. What Li Canghai said is very clear. It may be reminding us that 'Nianlin Xuanwu' has already taken action."

Huangfu Kun stroked the tiger's beard, and suddenly realized: "That's right, that must be the intention. Cang Hai and Di Qing are a pair of golden boy and jade girl. Although they are not married yet, everyone can tell the relationship between them. Come on, Di Qing's ancestors are naturally also his ancestors."

But soon he grabbed his hair again, and asked with a depressed face: "Then what is the meaning of the last sentence?"

Li Tan stroked his smooth chin, and pondered: "Li Canghai is in Zhengyang, but someone sent the news to Luoyang, which means that the news must be related to Luoyang."

Huangfu Kun and Di Ying nodded at the same time, Li Canghai was thoughtful, since someone brought the letter, it must be related to Luoyang.

Li Tan repeated several times, and said: "He asked someone to bring the news to Di Ying, so he knew that Di Ying could guess the meaning, and the fact is exactly the same. Di Ying guessed the meaning of the first sentence." meaning."

Li Tan felt that his thoughts became clearer, and he continued: "However, the meaning of the second sentence is beyond his ability to guess. Di Ying, who is the first thing you think of after receiving the news?"

Di Ying was stunned for a moment, he blinked, and subconsciously said: "General Huangfu." After a pause, he said: "This is what Cang Hai told me before he became the magistrate of Zhengyang County. Let me go to General Huangfu."

"Looking for me?" Huangfu Kun was a little stunned.

Li Tan rubbed his chin, smiled slightly, and said, "This king knows. Since Li Canghai asked you to go to General Huangfu, it means that his second sentence was for General Huangfu, so General Huangfu must be able to answer this sentence." Guess it."

Huangfu Kun was confused, and said inexplicably, "I can guess it? But I don't know what it means?"

"This matter is related to Di Hentian, and you must also know about it. Think about it carefully, what will Li Canghai use as a hint of 'home'?" Li Tan is not completely clear about what happened in Luoyang, so he can only think about it himself. The understanding of the code words reminded Huangfu Kun.

"It's related to Di Hentian, that is to say, it's related to 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu'. Hmm... Luoyang is the foundation of the general, and it's the duty of the general to guard Luoyang. Will Cang Hai tell me not to leave Luoyang no matter what? "Huangfu Kun suddenly patted his head and said in surprise.

Li Tan raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, that should be the intention. Since 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' has taken action, they will definitely target the palace!"

After pondering for a while, Li Tan suddenly seemed to understand something, and he continued: "General Huangfu, you should return to the palace immediately, no matter what happens, don't leave the palace!"

Seeing his serious face, Huangfu Kun knew the seriousness of the situation, nodded his head heavily, and then left the palace and returned to Luoyang Palace.

"My lord, will something unexpected happen to him in Canghai?" Di Ying asked worriedly.

Although Li Canghai and Di Qing are not yet married, in his eyes, he has long regarded him as a brother-in-law. If an accident happened to Li Canghai, wouldn't Di Qing be heartbroken?This is something he absolutely does not want to see as an elder brother.

"Since Li Canghai was able to get people to send the news, it means that his life is not yet in danger, so you don't have to worry too much. Li Canghai is wise and brave, and he will definitely be able to save the day." Li Tan comforted him.

"My lord, there is news from Zhengyang City!" At this moment, a guard of the palace walked in and handed Li Tan a note.

Li Tan took the note and looked at it carefully, frowning slightly.

"My lord, what happened? Did you find Cang Hai's whereabouts?" Seeing Li Tan's suspicious expression, Di Ying hurriedly asked.

Li Tan didn't speak, but handed the note to Di Ying.

Di Ying took the note, looked carefully at it, and suddenly turned pale with shock. He lost his voice and said, "This...how is this possible? Cang Hai died of a sudden illness?"

Li Tan frowned and said: "This matter needs to be further confirmed. If he really died suddenly, how can someone send news? There may be something hidden here."

Di Feng hurriedly stood up, bowed his hands to Li Tan and said: "My lord, this matter is of great importance. I will go to Zhengyang County to confirm it in person and leave."

Li Tan nodded: "Alright, if you find any clues, please notify me immediately."

After Di Feng answered, he quickly left the palace.

I don't know when, the sky suddenly darkened, and the thick dark clouds squeezed gloomyly in the sky like a piece of cotton soaked in light ink.

Soon, dark clouds covered the sun, and raindrops began to fall with a crackling patter.

Li Tan looked at the dense raindrops, and said to himself deeply: "This city of Luoyang really has changed."

The rain became heavier and heavier. At first, it was only raindrops, but it didn't take long before it turned into a torrential downpour.

The bean-like raindrops hit the body, which made people feel raw pain.

A team of dozens of people braved the heavy rain to move forward with difficulty.

"Lieutenant General, how long is it to Luoyang?" In the heavy rain, a head popped out of a carriage and asked loudly.

On a horse closely following the carriage, a lieutenant general in armor wiped the rain on his face and said loudly, "Go back to the general, we are still twenty miles away from Luoyang! It's raining too much now, and we can't move forward at all. General Shall we suspend our march and continue our march after the rain has subsided?"
