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

The courtesans' eyes sparkled with stars, it was so cool, comparing the process of love to a butterfly spreading its wings and flying high, how romantic it was.

Song Zhen couldn't help but think of a sentence in "Do You Have a Sickness?", which said this.

"From the day I kissed you, every sentence I said I like you is true."

Unfortunately, this sentence was said by a man to another man...

The "Number One in Jiangnan is far inferior to you" in the book is even more appropriate to describe the Tengwang Pavilion here.

Putting aside the plot, some sentences in the book are still very romantic if the gender is changed.

In his previous life, Song Zhen was accidentally bumped into by Li Mengting while reading this novel.

She had a meaningful expression, and came up to whisper, "Wow, I didn't expect you to have this tendency?"

"What tendency?"

"That?"

"?" Seeing that she had misunderstood, Song Zhen hurriedly took out his mobile phone and showed her the message from the fans.

Li Mengting just laughed.

Alas, I accidentally thought of her again. I wonder if she had a good time during the two months I disappeared.

Song Zhen suddenly had an urge to return home.

He didn't want to stay in Hongzhou anymore. He just wanted to go back to Luoyang as soon as possible and give her a passionate kiss.

Tell her.

"From the day I kissed you, every sentence I said I like you is true."

It's not a big problem to learn and use it now.

......

These days, Di Renjie has been running around. He visited everywhere just to find clues to the case.

He really found something.

First, he started with the transport personnel. He found that those who were responsible for transporting taxes to the ships on the river were not all from the Hongzhou Governor's Office.

Due to the large amount of goods, the Hongzhou government office undertook the business to the local escort agency.

There is no detailed record of when the special industry of escort agencies was founded.

Later scholars have different opinions.

However, similar post station transportation business should have appeared in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but one was official and the other was private.

Hongzhou Dudufu did not have so many staff, so it was understandable to entrust the local escort agency.

The problem arises here.

The lost tax money is probably in the second half, and this part of the money happens to be the money that Hongmen Escort Agency undertakes to transport and protect.

Di Renjie wondered if the tax money was secretly replaced by the people of Hongmen Escort Agency?

It can only be said that there is a great possibility.

But here comes the problem.

There are always people along the transportation route, and even the clerks of Hongzhou government office will supervise along the way.

There is no chance of substitution.

Why?

If it has nothing to do with Hongmen Escort Agency, who would do it?

Di Renjie returned to Tengwang Pavilion to find Song Zhen to discuss the case.

Song Zhen said calmly: "Huaiying, look, this is one tael of gold, and this is one tael of copper coins."

Di Renjie was confused and said: "Then what?"

"Then look, what is the volume of the two?"

"Volume?"

"Well, in short, they are different in size."

Song Zhen continued to explain: "This has to mention the relationship between mass, density and volume."

"Generally speaking, when the mass is the same, the greater the density, the smaller the volume. And vice versa."

"I ask you, is the density of metal greater, or the density of loess greater?"

Di Renjie suddenly realized and understood that although they are of the same mass, the volumes of the two are different.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, so why ask? It must be that the density of metal is greater.

......

Song Zhen snapped his fingers: "Smart."

"Under the same volume, the mass of loess is definitely smaller than that of copper coins."

"Since there is such a difference, then the wheel marks of the carriage carrying tax money will not be so deep by comparison?"

It makes sense.

But soon, Di Renjie shrugged his head. Now more than ten days have passed. If you want to find traces, how can you find them?

This is unrealistic.

Song Zhen smiled: "Who told you to find the depth of the road soil?"

"?"

"Did you forget something?"

Di Renjie suddenly woke up. Yes, there are stones and the fatigue of the horse.

As we all know, the wheels of ancient carriages are made of wood.

As we all know, the official roads in ancient times are not necessarily flat, and there should be stones.

As long as you find the stones that were pressed by the carriages carrying copper coins and the carriages carrying soil, and compare the traces on them, you can judge whether the tax money was swapped in advance.

It doesn't matter if you can't find the stones, you can also look for horses.

So, Di Renjie came to the Hongmen Escort Agency.

Of course, this era is not called an escort agency, and I don't know what it is called specifically.

Seeing Di Renjie wearing a dark green officialHe was warmly welcomed in.

"Sir, may I ask what business you want to present to my Hongmen?"

Di Renjie smiled slightly: "I want to see your horses."

"Oh? Sir, you want to buy a horse? Sorry, we don't sell horses here. I suggest you go to the West Market."

Di Renjie shook his head: "I'm not here to buy a horse."

He took out a fish talisman: "Look carefully, I'm the Dali Temple."

The man opposite calmly fanned his paper fan: "You are from the Dali Temple? I don't know what crime my Hongmen has committed?"

"Whether there is a crime or not, you know better than me."

"I don't understand what you mean, Sir."

As soon as the voice fell, twenty strong men rushed in at the door, with fierce momentum.

Di Renjie was not afraid at all. He raised his sword eyebrows: "This official is just here to investigate. Why are you so nervous?"

The man also felt that this seemed not good. He waved his hand and asked his men to go back.

"What the officer said is true. It was the Hongmen who was abrupt." The man smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation. "The Hongmen will definitely cooperate with the investigation."

He took Di Renjie to the horse feeder and put his hands behind his back.

"Go ahead, take a look. Take a stroll."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Di Renjie frowned. He suddenly felt that what he did seemed very inappropriate and too impulsive.

Because so much time has passed, even if the horse is in a bad condition, it should have rested long ago.

And, if it was really done by the Hongmen Escort Agency, would he alert the enemy by visiting so rashly?

Di Renjie was secretly annoyed. This bad habit of impulsiveness must be changed!

However, since the other party dared to show it, he would just take it.

Di Renjie looked around, but unfortunately he did not find any spots on the horse.

Could it be? It really had nothing to do with them?

Seeing this, the man smiled calmly, and said slowly: "I wonder if you have seen it clearly, sir?"

"I have seen it clearly."

"Are you okay?"

"No."

The man showed sarcasm and laughed: "I have said it before, we Hongmen are upright and have nothing to fear. The case of the stolen tax money has absolutely nothing to do with us!"

Di Renjie looked at him disapprovingly and blurted out: "If, I said if, what if it really has something to do with you?"

The other party's attitude made the man very unhappy. He snorted coldly: "Sir, before you draw a conclusion, it's better to show evidence first."

Di Renjie left the horse feed directly, leaving only one sentence.

"There will always be evidence. The net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it."

......

Di Renjie returned to the official road where the tax money was originally transported, and he squatted down.

After searching for a while, there was no result.

He had no choice but to look up and ask the clerk who followed him: "I want to ask, what did the vehicle that transported the tax money look like at that time?"

"Report to Di Sicheng, three horses pulled the carriage at the same time."

"Carriage? Are you sure?" It wasn't a truck?

"Yes, it was a carriage. There were two people sitting inside to guard it."

Di Renjie fell into deep thought.

The biggest difference between a carriage and a truck is that a carriage is closed on all sides, while a truck is not, and the goods are directly exposed.

If it is a carriage, then the operability is greatly increased.

Suppose, suppose the tax money was intact before getting on the car, but it was tampered with during transportation.

This possibility is not impossible.

However, the space in the carriage is narrow, and it is not easy to replace the tax money.

Di Renjie felt that his eyesight was not good. He looked for most of the day and did not find any problems at the scene.

"It seems that I have to trouble Shouzheng to come over."

Song Zhen's eyesight was sharp, and Di Renjie had experienced it personally.

No clues could escape his eagle eyes.

Di Renjie returned to the Governor's Mansion and asked Huang for the details of their investigation some time ago.

He opened the file and found that before that, Hongzhou government office had not found nothing.

First, two days after the tax money was stolen, a fire suddenly broke out in the forest outside the city.

This fire was really strange, because according to the records in the file, it rained in Hongzhou two days before the fire.

Normally, the weather should be humid during that period, and it is difficult to cause a forest fire.

Unless someone deliberately set the fire?

But why did they set the fire?

Di Renjie's eyes lit up, and he thought of a possibility, that is, to destroy evidence.

Evidence can include horses and carriages.

"Wait." He found one of the details.

It says that the fire broke out two days after the tax money was stolen, and it rained two days before the fire.

In other words, it was drizzling on the day when the tax money was transported.

So Di Renjie rushedHe asked urgently: "After the tax money was found to have been swapped, was the loess in the box dry or wet?"

"Reply to Di Sicheng, it was wet."

Di Renjie was secretly amazed. It seemed that the thieves had also thought of this, so they put the box in moist soil to increase its mass, which was almost the same as copper coins.

In this case, this direction of investigation should be wrong.

The other party must have considered the point we can think of.

Moreover, a key piece of information can also be guessed from here.

The file said that there were no unusual marks on the carriage where the tax money was lost.

This means that the box filled with moist loess must have been prepared in advance and there was no replacement halfway.

Di Renjie thought to himself: "Find an opportunity to go to the fire scene and see if you can find anything?"

......
