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

It is said that ten miles after they left the border of Shuzhou, they met a group of merchants transporting goods.

Di Renjie suddenly had an idea and bought a coarse linen coat from the merchants, and then smeared some dust on his face, looking like a down-and-out merchant.

Yuchi Junjun only bought seven sets of clothes, so he could only take five Qianniu guards with him.

The seven people passed by a village and bought a few shoulder poles to dress themselves up more like a merchant.

They walked for half a day and finally returned to Shuzhou before the curfew.

Because they were merchants, they were searched. Fortunately, the guards at the city gate were lazy and did not find the fish talismans they hid in their arms.

After entering the city, Yuchi Junjun hurriedly asked: "Old Di, what should we do next?"

"?" Di Renjie looked at him speechlessly, "Do you need to ask? Of course, we should find a place to stay first."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Yuchi Junjun nodded heavily, and he strode forward, about to walk into a luxurious inn.

Di Renjie hurriedly grabbed him: "What are you doing? Have you forgotten our current identity?"

"Aren't we merchants?"

"Yes, merchants can afford to stay in an inn that costs three strings of cash a night?"

Yuchi Junjun touched his head: "Aren't they very rich?"

"Who said that merchants must be rich?"

"Why sell goods without money? It's better to go home and farm."

"......"

For some reason, Di Renjie felt that what he said seemed to make sense, and he was speechless to refute.

There are sufferings in the world, and there are all kinds of things in the world. In order to live a better life, the people often have to do it.

They finally chose the most desolate inn, where they could stay for one night for only 100 coins.

Unexpectedly, it rained at night and the roof leaked? The bedding was soaked, and the seven strong men didn't sleep well.

The next day, Yuchi Junjun complained with dark circles under his eyes: "Old Di, I shouldn't have listened to you."

Di Renjie was silent, this world has never been beautiful.

They were just making do for one night, while some people couldn't even stay in an inn and had to sleep in the open.

Several people forced themselves to cheer up and began to wander in the market.

Di Renjie pretended to find a place to set up a stall. He squatted on the ground and chatted with the vendors next to him.

"Old man, I just came to Shuzhou to do business. I'm unfamiliar with the place. May I ask if there are any great nobles here that I need to pay attention to?"

"There is the King of Shu in Shuzhou. You haven't heard of it?"

The King of Shu, is it the sixth prince of the Khan, Li Yin?

Di Renjie didn't know much about Li Yin. He only knew that in the fourth year of Yonghui, he was implicated because of the brother of Wu Wang Li Ke, and was deposed as a commoner and exiled to Bazhou. Soon after, he was renamed Fuling Wang.

The Tang Dynasty renamed the Yizhou area as Jiannan Road, and Shuzhou belonged to one of the 27 states in Xichuan, Jiannan Road.

In fact, Jiannan Road was a military stronghold, and was responsible for resisting Tubo with Longyou Road.

"Apart from the King of Shu, are there any other noble families?"

The old man answered without thinking: "Yang family."

The Shuzhou Yang family once produced a celebrity, that is, Yang Yuhuan.

Her father Yang Xuanyan once served as the Shuzhou Sihu, and Yang Yuhuan spent her childhood in Shuzhou.

Li Zhi wrote the stepmother literature, and Li Longji, as his grandson, was naturally not inferior, and they performed a good play together, "Strong Father-in-law and Pretty Daughter-in-law".

Di Renjie continued to ask: "What about the Yang family?"

The old man thought for a while, and he shook his head unexpectedly.

Di Renjie deliberately said: "Before coming here, I heard that there are Yu and Tang families in Shuzhou."

"Never heard of it."

"?"

A strange thing happened. Di Renjie asked many vendors in the market. The strange thing is that the Yu and Tang families seemed to have never existed.

If the surnames of these two noble families were not clearly written in the booklet of the Wen and Yu families, Di Renjie would doubt whether he was right or wrong.

"What's going on?"

After Yuchi Junjun and others who were investigating separately came back, they also fed back this question.

"Old Di, could there be a mistake in the booklet?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

This situation has never happened before. Two large families disappeared from the minds of the people out of thin air.

Is this in line with common sense?

And there is a contradiction.

Assuming that the Yu family and the Tang family really did not exist, why would the governor of Shuzhou deliberately forge a case of genocide?

Isn't this a waste of time?

Di Renjie was not surprised that the locals had already anticipated the people he was going to investigate.

After all, the sage arranged for the imperial envoys to go to various places to investigate the Wen Yu rebellion case, which had long been spread all over the country.

Assuming that the Yu family and the Tang family existed, why did the people all answer that they did not exist?Have you heard of it?

The group investigated for another three days and asked every corner of Shuzhou.

The strange thing is that everyone really said they didn't know, didn't know, and had never heard of it.

"Old Di, it seems that there really is no Yu family and Tang family?"

Di Renjie said in a deep voice: "I know."

Yuchi Junjun suddenly felt his scalp tingling, and he said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that the local government gave the people some kind of potion to drink? Let everyone collectively lose their memory?"

"......" Di Renjie glanced at him speechlessly, can you be more reliable?

"In fact, I suspect that the Yu family and the Tang family may not refer to the gentry, but to something else."

Since it is not the gentry, then who could it be?

What do these two surnames mean?

......

Luoyang-

At Shen time that day, Song Zhen and Yan Liben went to Ziwei City together to visit Li Zhi.

Originally, Yan Liben wanted to bring the new prime minister Lu Chengqing along, but Song Zhen stopped him.

Isn't this announcing to the public that I have a very close relationship with him?

Doing so will easily arouse the suspicion of His Majesty, which is not a good thing for both Song Zhen and Lu Chengqing.

Because in the court, the most taboo thing is to form cliques.

But there is no problem for Song Zhen and Yan Liben to come together, because both of them are salty fish factions.

"Your Majesty, is your body healthy?" Yan Liben asked straight to the point.

Li Zhi was very happy that the two of them could come to visit him and care about his health.

He arranged for the two to sit down and asked Wu Meiniang to make tea and pour tea for them.

Li Zhi smiled and said to Song Zhen: "Song Qing, this tea drink you invented is really a world-class move."

In the past, tea was boiled by putting a lot of things in it. It can't be said to be a dark dish, but it's not very delicious anyway.

But after withering, killing, rolling and drying, the tea leaves produced, soaked in hot water, not only have a fragrant aroma, but also can refresh the mind after drinking.

What is rare is that Song Zhen, as an inventor, did not admire himself, but vigorously promoted the tea making process. Such selfless behavior made Li Zhi very appreciative.

Song Zhen carefully took the hot tea handed over by Wu Meiniang with both hands.

His hands were a little shaky, and it was bad. How ridiculous to let the future empress make tea for herself?

Wu Meiniang smiled faintly, and her beautiful eyes flowed on Song Zhen from time to time.

The only confidant Li Yifu has fallen. If she wants to achieve her political dream, she must cultivate another confidant.

Then this confidant, it may not be Song Zhen?
