Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

"What is that?" Di Renjie was also startled.

Song Zhen stood up and touched the top of the car. He found that there was no crack, and he was slightly relieved.

"Maybe it was a fallen wild fruit?"

The two squinted their eyes again. They were tired after traveling for so long.

I don't know how long it took, but Song Zhen suddenly felt his feet were a little cold.

He opened his eyes blankly, and saw a black and white body with ridges on its back. It was wrapped around his feet.

Damn it!

Song Zhen got nervous all of a sudden, and he took a breath.

The coral snake is a venomous snake, belonging to the family of cobras.

There was no data in ancient times, so Song Zhen didn't know. Anyway, in later generations, it was the most venomous snake in the country, with a very high mortality rate! It was the venomous snake that caused the most deaths.

Damn it, how could such a big treasure appear in the carriage?

I'm really fucked!

Song Zhen steadied his breath and tried to remain as still as a mountain.

Generally speaking, poisonous snakes will not attack people actively. They will only attack defensively if you step on them or touch their bodies.

In other words, as long as Song Zhen does not move and lets the silver ring snake slowly crawl away and leave his body, he will probably be fine.

Perhaps it was a telepathic connection, Di Renjie also woke up at this time.

He looked at the silver ring snake under Song Zhen's feet in shock, because this big baby was gradually leaving Song Zhen and climbing towards his feet.

Song Zhen whispered: "Don't move."

"Oh, okay." Di Renjie stiffened his body and was at a loss.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the silver ring snake finally crawled away from Song Zhen's feet. He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly pulled out the dagger from his waist.

Song Zhen felt uneasy and held the bamboo flute in his right hand again.

He slowly approached the silver ring snake and was about to kill it with one blow.

The carriage moved abnormally and suddenly shook. It should be that the wheel pressed against a big rock.

The Bungarus felt something strange, it raised its head and spit out red tongue.

Then...

Song Zhen quickly grabbed the Bungarus' tail and smashed it heavily on the wooden board.

The Bungarus felt stunned, it shook its head on the wooden board of the car, looked at Song Zhen, and prepared to launch an attack!

Song Zhen cut it in the seven inches with a knife, and then flattened its snake head with a bamboo flute.

Blood splattered all over the floor.

"Cao Nima! Die for me!"

Song Zhen kept hitting the Bungarus with a bamboo flute, and finally stopped after a long time.

The two collapsed in the car and breathed a sigh of relief.

Song Zhen lifted Di Renjie's foot and took off his black leather Liuhe boots. After confirming that there was no wound, he breathed heavily with relief.

"Damn, that was a close call!"

Di Renjie quickly regained his composure. He frowned: "Could it be that the three governors before him all died this way? Bitten to death by poisonous snakes?"

He was basically certain that the thing that just fell from the sky was this silver ring snake.

"Yongzhou is full of green trees and has a good primitive ecology. It is not uncommon for poisonous snakes to appear."

But Song Zhen denied his view: "That's not the case. Silver ring snakes are usually used to catching food by the water. They like to live in plains, hills or foothills near water."

"In short, they usually move on the surface and rarely climb trees on their own initiative."

"Even if it fell from a high foothill, it wouldn't fall on our carriage that is normally traveling in the middle of the official road, right?"

Di Renjie's eyes condensed: "What do you mean? Someone deliberately threw the snake on our carriage?"

"It is possible. I hope it's just a coincidence."

If the enemy is a snake-throwing maniac, it will really be a troublesome thing.

You never know when the other party will play dirty tricks, it's simply impossible to guard against.

"By the way, Huaiying, why was the former governor of Yongzhou replaced?"

Di Renjie took out a piece of paper from his arms, looked at the words on it and said: "The last governor's surname is Lu, and his name is Qi Zheng. Speaking of which, he is also a strange person."

Song Zhen asked curiously: "Why is it strange?"

"Lu Qi Zheng likes others to build a shrine for him."

The shrine is different from the common shrine to commemorate the dead, but is used to commemorate the living.

Usually, if you are a good official and are deeply loved by the local people, they will take the initiative to build a shrine for you, or erect a monument.

For example, in history, when Di Renjie was in Weizhou, the people built a shrine for him.

After Song Zhen heard this, he had a strange expression.

From Di Renjie's words, we can know that Lu Qi Zheng forced the people of Yongzhou to help him build a shrine, which shows that this guy is really not good at being a person, doing things and being an official.

If you really care about the people, the simple people will do it naturally without you saying anything.

However, voluntary and forced have different meanings.There is a question here. Lu Qizheng's actions will surely cause public outrage. Why hasn't he been exposed for a year?

Di Renjie sneered: "Lu Qizheng was not demoted, but promoted."

"What?" Song Zhen was stunned. Is it so dark?

"I remember that there is a provision in the Tang Law Commentary? It stipulates that officials cannot casually erect monuments and build temples."

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes, Article 134 of the Tang Law Commentary does say: All officials who have no political achievements and erect monuments will be sentenced to one year in prison."

In short, face-saving projects are not allowed, and officials are not allowed to brag about their achievements.

In the Tang Dynasty, monuments and temples need to be reported. It is not that you can just carve a stone and put it there.

Lu Qizheng belongs to one of them. "If someone sends someone to falsely claim that he is good and apply to the superiors, he will be caned 100 times."

Logically speaking, his behavior is enough to be punished, so why is he not punished, but promoted and given a raise?

"I learned about these deeds by searching for information from many sources. There is no record in the library of the Ministry of Personnel."

Song Zhen understood. It seems that this Lu Qizhen has something to do with the Ministry of Personnel.

"Who is the current Minister of Personnel?"

"Lai Ji, appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and the Inspector of the Minister of Personnel."

It turned out to be this person. Who is Lai Ji? His end is a political victim!

Because he firmly opposed "abolishing the king and establishing Wu", Wu Zetian hated him and used Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong to eliminate him.

Both of the two treacherous ministers appeared during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang. Strangely, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was still at its peak, and the land area reached its peak.

Can you say that Li Zhi had no ability to govern the country? If it were another emperor, the country would have been destroyed long ago.

Ahem, if you want to say that Wu Zetian ascended the throne and changed the country's name to Zhou, and the Tang Dynasty died after three generations, there is nothing you can do about it.

To be honest, it is a bit strange that Lai Ji protected Lu Qizhen and could do such a thing.

Could it be that the two had an unspeakable relationship?

Di Renjie continued: "Then, Lu Qizheng found a Feng Shui master and took a fancy to a white bamboo forest on the back mountain of Baizhu Village in Lingling County. He cut down a large area of ​​white bamboo and prepared to build a shrine here. This caused public outrage."

"Lu Qizheng found that the situation was out of control and chose to flee Yongzhou. Now he has arrived in Qizhou and has been promoted to the governor of Shangzhou."

He left, but left a mess.

Song Zhen would never believe that Lu Qizheng was just forcing the people to build a shrine for him.
