Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 314
The injured Taoist and Hongyan looked at each other, he frowned, and said with a sneer, "'Xuan Ice Gu'? It's ridiculous, how can there be such a bug in this world? I think you are talking nonsense, right?"

Li Canghai smiled slightly. Instead of answering the wounded Taoist, he stared at Hongyan and said indifferently: "Whether it is true or not, Miss Hongyan knows in her heart. Miss Hongyan, the only thing you planned to kill the person of the Gopher Sect and Huangfu was Don't I need to make any more statements?"

Hongyan looked at Li Canghai solemnly, and pouted.

"Li Canghai, I'm a little confused. What does this have to do with their rebellion?" Li Longji asked puzzledly, stroking his beard.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, just wait for the humble ministers to come one by one!" Li Canghai saluted Li Longji slightly, and said, "If it is said that the people from the Gopher Sect sneaked into Di's Mansion and were killed to find the treasure, but the son of General Huangfu They died because of jealousy, but the officials in Zhengyang County died without any reason. It wasn't until I went to Luofengji that I found out the real reason for the death of several people."

"What's the reason?" The injured Taoist turned cold. Although he knew it well, he still wanted to ask. He had to judge how much Li Canghai knew about them in order to make a judgment.

"Because they all drank the same kind of wine, which was produced in Luofengji Winery. The difference from other drinks is that there are 'Xuanbing Gu worms' hidden in this drink. The gophermen and Huangfu The general’s sons, and even Zhengyang county government servants, were killed because they had been to the brewery at the beginning of brewing, and you killed them to avoid leaking out the secrets! Miss Hongfu, am I right?” Li Cang Hai's tone suddenly became severe.

"Gu worms? Hahaha... Putting worms in the wine? It's ridiculous. If there are worms in the wine, how can no one find it?" The injured Taoist laughed on the surface, but his eyes were shining with a fierce smile.

"'Xuanbing Gu' is a very peculiar type of Gu. When it is dormant, its size is very small, but once it wakes up, it will immediately suck flesh and become bigger in an instant." Li Canghai frowned tightly. Staring at Hongyan deeply, he said, "I'm sure Miss Hongyan is more familiar with this kind of Gu worm. She comes from Miaojiang, so it's easy to hide Gu worms?"

Hongyan frowned beautifully, but remained silent.

I heard Li Canghai continue to say: "Although I have found the murderer, I also know that you are looking for the 'Treasure of the Martial Emperor', but I know that is not your real goal."

"Oh? Why?" The injured Taoist's eyes became more serious.

"Because there is no direct connection between your production of poisoned wine and the search for treasure. If anything, you inadvertently used poisoned wine to get rid of the gophers who were also looking for treasure. Therefore, I It is concluded that you have other motives in brewing poisonous wine!" Li Canghai said loudly.

"Oh? The poor Taoist would like to ask you, what is the purpose of our wine making?" The injured Taoist snorted and asked while staring at him.

"Actually, when I heard General Huangfu talk about the emperor's east tour in Luofengji, I vaguely felt that your target was probably His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, General Huangfu and I made a plan to let Liang Xiu take the initiative to confess himself. Due to his concubine's identity, he has already taken refuge in 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu'. He wanted to let him take the initiative to confess their purpose, but Liang Xiu was taken away by Liu Tong, and then news spread that he committed suicide in fear of crime, making Everything is back to the original point." Li Canghai glared at Liu Tong and said displeasedly.

Liu Tong is a shrewd person. He recommended the wounded Taoist and others, but now he wants to rebel. In order to clear the relationship, he immediately stood by Li Longji's side, crying and swearing that he will always be loyal to Li Longji .

Although Li Longji wanted to kill him in his heart.But after all, he was in a dangerous situation, and there were not many people available around him, so he had to forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.

Li Canghai is now entrusting the emperor's order to resolve this matter. It can be said that he holds the power of life and death, so how can he be careless?

"Master Li's lesson is that it's all the fault of the lower officials. It's the lower officials who didn't take good care of Liang Xiu. The lower officials are convicted." Liu Tong saluted him repeatedly, his face full of nervousness and embarrassment.

Li Canghai glanced at him, shook off his sleeves in displeasure, and continued, "After Liang Xiu's death, I was transferred to Zhengyang County, but the 'Nilin Xuanwu' disappeared as if it had never existed. There was no trace, and I didn't find the horse's feet until the Yellow River burst its embankment."

"What's wrong?" The injured Taoist didn't speak, but Hongyan asked.

"When I was blocking the dam, two crucial things happened. It was these two things that gave me a hint." Li Canghai stretched out two fingers and said.

"Which two things? I would like to hear the details." The injured Taoist frowned.

Li Canghai shook his finger and said solemnly: "First, when blocking the breach of the Yellow River, some people poisoned the food of the flood-fighting people, making the people lose their ability to act. Their purpose is to prevent the people from blocking the breach. "

After sighing, Li Canghai continued: "Then, when I was plugging the breach, I was assassinated, and the person who was assassinated was the housekeeper of the evil officials in Zhengyang County. Fortunately, God blessed Zhengyang, and the breach was finally blocked, and the Butler Hong Tao was killed, and when I inspected his body afterwards, I found a tattoo on his body, and I knew instantly that he was a 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu'."

"You mean, 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' sent undercover agents to hide in Zhengyang, with the purpose of assassinating you?" Yang Guozhong asked.

Li Canghai shook his head: "Killing me is just following the trend. Their real purpose is to prevent the Yellow River from being blocked."

The more people listened, the more they felt confused and puzzled.

However, the expressions of the injured Taoist and others changed slightly. The injured Taoist pretended to be indifferent and shook his whisk, and said: "The Yellow River bursting its embankment is a disaster from heaven. You said that we sent people undercover in Zhengyang to prevent the court from blocking it." The Yellow River burst, it’s nonsense! The flood of the Yellow River is God’s will, how do we know that the Yellow River will burst? So we sent people to undercover Zhengyang in advance?”

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the injured Taoist: "When did I say that you sent people undercover to Zhengyang 'in advance'?"

The injured Taoist was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, so he hurriedly waved his whisk, pretending to be calm.

Li Canghai sneered, squinted at him, and did not dwell on this topic, but continued: "When it comes to their real purpose, it involves the second thing—the Broken Dragon Monument!"

"Broken Dragon Monument?" Li Longji frowned. He didn't like the name very much, especially the words circulating on the stele, which made him very angry.

Then I heard Li Canghai continue to say: "This monument was discovered when I led the people to plug the breach. The body of the monument is carved with small seal script. From the material point of view, it is a stone tablet from the Qin Dynasty, but the information on it is the Yellow River. The specific time of the embankment."
