The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2199 Identity
"Although it has been verified, who is the person who instigated that person to do this?" Xu Zhengqing asked, "Should we still spend time on this?"

"No, it's too late. As soon as you return to Chang'an, within a few days, the other side will probably take action, so we can only be faster than them." Di Renjie said: "I will take people there early tomorrow morning." Arrest the person who pretends to be Dangren Hongyuan's nephew, and then go to the morning court, and the morning court will expose this matter."

"Well, good!" Xu Zhengqing said: "As for Dang Renhong's death, I also brought back the evidence. There are records from the local government and the testimony of local officials."

"Good job." Di Renjie praised.

In the past month since coming to Junchen, he has put all his thoughts on Suo Yuanli, but he has not paid attention to the movement of Dali Temple, but it is because of this that there has been such a big mistake. Dali Temple has such a big The action, he didn't even know that Xu Zhengqing had returned from the place, and he didn't know whether Lai Junchen had reacted now.

Before dawn the next morning, Di Renjie and Xu Zhengqing led people from Dali Temple straight to the residence of the person impersonating Dang Renhong's nephew. When they broke in, the person was still lying on the bed and sleeping. Woolen cloth.The person has been arrested by the people of Dali Temple, and he is still ignorant and sleepy.

He didn't wake up until he was escorted outside the house.

"Who are you! Why are you arresting me!!"

"We are from Dali Temple. As for why you were arrested, you have a good idea." The guard of Dali Temple said.

"His Majesty personally sent someone to arrange to live in Chang'an, you can't arrest me at will!" the man shouted.

"I am Di Renjie, Minister of Dali Temple. I investigate the case according to His Majesty's order. You are the person involved in the case. Naturally, I have the right to arrest you and take you away!" Di Renjie said as he walked into the room.

With a wave of his hand, the guards of Dali Temple directly put him up and took him away.

"Zhengqing, I will leave this person to you for the time being. Interrogate him carefully, and I will go to court first." Di Renjie said: "This person is very important, and there must be no mistakes."

"My lord, don't worry." Xu Zhengqing said: "Before your lord comes back from court, the officials will try their best to interrogate the results."

"Okay." Di Renjie said.

Di Renjie went out in court clothes. He originally planned to go directly to the palace after arresting the people. Now he felt that the matter was getting more and more urgent, and the time was also getting more and more urgent.

Xu Zhengqing took the man back to Dali Temple, and directly brought him into the interrogation room of the cell.

"Tell me, what's your name?" Xu Zhengqing asked while sitting in front of the case.

"My name is Zhao Zheng, and I'm Dang Renhong's distant nephew." The man said.

"Your surname is Zhao?" Xu Zhengqing looked at the man.

"It's said that he is a distant nephew." Zhao Zheng responded.

"Distant nephew? How did you get to Chang'an, and how did you get Dang Renhong's personal letter?" Xu Zhengqing asked.

And Zhao Zheng's answer to Xu Zhengqing was exactly the same as the answer he gave to Li Chengqian in Xuanzheng Hall in the palace that day.

"You're lying." Xu Zhengqing looked at Zhao Zheng with burning eyes and said.

"How does your lord determine that I'm lying?" Zhao Zhengfan asked.

"First of all, your speech and demeanor are not like what you said, saying that you are an ordinary person. I have never seen any ordinary people enter the prison cell of Dali Temple, and they are so calm." Xu Zhengqing said: "So you It is false to say that you are an ordinary person.”

"Hehe, my lord is so arbitrary, I'm afraid it's not good? After all, my lord is also an official of Dali Temple. Does my lord usually use guesswork to handle cases?" Zhao Zheng smiled.

Xu Zhengqing was not angry when he heard the words, and said: "I have a reason to say this about you. This month, I have suffered a lot because of this matter. This month, I have suffered a lot. Not in Chang'an, but in another place, to the place where Dang Renhong was dispatched. After investigation, it was confirmed that Dang Renhong had died five years ago, so what you said is all false, Moreover, the so-called Dang Renhong's personal letters are all fake. Dang Renhong's handwriting can be preserved in Dali Temple. After careful comparison, it is not difficult to find that the letter was imitated by Dang Renhong. The handwriting was written only because Dang Renhong had been dispatched for too long, and His Majesty didn't recognize it for a while.

So, I advise you, it's better to be honest, otherwise hehe, you may have heard that there is an official in the court called Lai Junchen, he is good at extorting confessions by torture, although I don't agree with the use of punishment, but If I treat someone like you, I will never be merciful. Then the instruments of torture that Junchen invented are novel to me. I am worried that no one will be able to try it. What, do you want to try it? "

When Zhao Zheng heard Lai Junchen's name from Xu Zhengqing's mouth, his body couldn't help shaking twice, which was also noticed by Xu Zhengqing who was sitting at the top.

It seems that Junchen's reputation is really useful, and it is better to scare people.

However, who sent this person out?
Seeing it for a moment, Xu Zhengqing thought of a possibility, that is, it is possible that this person has something to do with Lai Junchen. His reaction just now was not a reaction to his plan to torture him, but rather that he heard Lai Junchen's name. Reaction?

Xu Zhengqing restrained the smile on his face, and his expression became serious, carefully staring at the expression on Zhao Zheng's face.

"Tell me, who ordered you to do this? Do you know that your behavior is a capital offense?" Xu Zhengqing asked: "Forging letters from criminal officials, falsely accusing important officials in the court, and defrauding His Majesty, any crime is enough. You beheaded."

Facing Xu Zhengqing's question, Zhao Zheng fell silent.

Apparently, what he had done had already been found out by the official of the Dali Temple in front of him, and if he continued to speak out, he would not believe it. After all, in one month, he had been with Dang Renhong for another five years. Everything about the previous death has been found out.

Such a fact shattered all the lies he had fabricated earlier.

"No one asked me to do this." Zhao Zheng said.

"Is this impossible?" Xu Zhengqing said, "For such a serious crime, are you crazy to bite Duke Qi?"

"No, I'm not crazy, because...I only see enmity with Qi Guogong." Zhao Zheng said.

"Oh? What hatred?" Xu Zhengqing asked.

"Duke Qi killed my uncle."

"Who is your uncle?"

"The former Luoyang county magistrate." Zhao Zheng said, "Last year, he died at the hands of Xuan Shijing, Duke of Qi!"
