Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 411 Luoyang Mansion, Ascension!

"What are you thinking?" Di Qing leaned over and asked.

"I can't say this right now. I'll tell you when I'm sure." Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

Di Qing let out a cry of disappointment, Li Canghai smiled slightly when he saw this, suddenly put her in his arms, and kissed her on the forehead.

Di Qing's pretty face flushed for a while, and she yelled: "It's unreasonable, you dare to sneak up on this girl, if I don't hit you, you will find your teeth all over the place!"

……

The next day, Luoyang Mansion was full of soldiers, and the guard was extremely strict.

The people who came and went stopped one after another, talking to each other about what happened and why the Luoyang Mansion suddenly became so heavily guarded.

"What's going on here? There wasn't such a big battle in Luoyang Mansion in the past?"

"I heard that Mr. Li is going to try the case here. In order to prevent people from making trouble, we have called the Jinwu Guard to protect him."

"Master Li? Which Master Li? To have such great power that even the Jinwu Guard can be mobilized?"

"It's the Dali Temple Zhengqing who has become famous recently, Mr. Li Canghai Li!"

"Really? What case does Master Li want to try?"

"I don't know. But it's said to be an old case..."

……

The common people whispered to each other.

The story of Li Canghai repeatedly solving strange cases in Zhengyang City has already spread to Luoyang.

Everyone in Luoyang City knew that Li Canghai was the best at reasoning and solving crimes. Now that they heard that Li Canghai was going to open a hall in Luoyang Mansion, everyone wanted to witness it with their own eyes and see if Li Canghai was really as powerful as the rumors said.

As Luoyang used to be the capital of the gods, this mansion is naturally magnificent.

The courtroom occupies a very large area, and dozens of chairs are lined up on both sides of the hall.

The tables and chairs used for the trial were moved out of the Nuan Pavilion and placed in front of the Nuan Pavilion, which was also covered by gauze curtains.

Officials at all levels of Luoyang Mansion stood in front of the Yimen, as if they were waiting for something.

In the back hall, with the help of Di Qing, Li Canghai put on the purple robe and jade belt that symbolizes the third-rank official.

"Qing'er, give me a punch." Li Canghai said suddenly.

"Ah?" Di Qing was stunned for a moment, thinking she had heard it wrong, "What did you say?"

"Punch me." Li Canghai said again.

Di Qing's small nose wrinkled immediately, she touched Li Canghai's forehead with her hand, and muttered, "It's strange, I don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

Li Canghai rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

As he spoke, Li Canghai clenched his fist and patted his forehead.

"Hey, it hurts me to death!" Li Canghai yelled.

"Nonsense! Of course it hurts. How could anyone beat themselves? Did you get your head caught by the door last night?" Di Qing glared at him, immediately took a wet towel, and wiped his forehead with concern.

"I just want to make sure if I'm dreaming." Li Canghai grinned, and while enjoying Di Qing's care, he said with a playful smile.

"Grandpa once wanted me to be an official in the court, and he wanted to be an official in the borderlands. At first, I was still thinking that this officialdom is so difficult, I am afraid that it is impossible to become a high official in the court in this life, and I can only be a small one. The county magistrate. I don’t want to be an official in Dali Temple now, it’s like a dream!” Li Canghai said with emotion.

Di Qing was a little curious, and asked, "Cang Hai, why did your grandfather insist that you become a great official in the frontier?"

Li Canghai shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows! I just remember that Grandpa seems to have said that this has something to do with my life experience."

"Your life experience?" Di Qing suddenly became very interested, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on here?"

Having known Li Canghai for so long, Di Qing has never heard him talk about her life experience.

She was originally a child of the rivers and lakes, and she never cared about these things, and Li Canghai never mentioned it, so she didn't know about Li Canghai's background.

"I don't know what's going on. This is what my grandfather told me before he passed away. I want to be an official in the court no matter what. Only in this way can I find out the mystery of my life experience." Li Canghai rubbed his forehead, nonchalantly Said.

"Aren't you born to your grandfather?" Di Qing blurted out, blinking her eyes.

Li Canghai reached out and tapped her little head, and said with a smile: "You little confused, next time you speak, can you think it over before you speak."

Di Qing scratched her hair and thought about what she just said before she realized it.

She giggled, pulled Li Canghai's arm, and said coquettishly, "I didn't mean it, let me say hello again, aren't you your grandpa's grandson?"

Li Canghai rolled his eyes, this is still awkward to hear!Your grandpa's grandson?How does this sound like a curse?
But he didn't care about these, and he would patiently answer Di Qing's questions.

He nodded and said, "Grandpa just made it clear to me before he passed away. However, he was a little confused at that time, and what he said was confusing. But one thing is certain, I was brought out of Chang'an by grandpa, but he Not my real grandfather."

"So that's the case, Cang Hai, don't worry, I will help you find out your life experience!" Di Qing said seriously.

Li Canghai smiled, these are the original memories of his body, in fact, they have nothing to do with him.

However, it also made him feel a little lost.

He was an orphan in his previous life, but in this life he finally had a grandfather whom he had never met, who actually told him before his death that the two were not related by blood, and he was still an orphan.

"Is this fate? Same name, same life, or are we originally the same person, but separated into different time and space?" Li Canghai thought blankly.

Seeing that Li Canghai was a little distracted, Di Qing knew that he was thinking about her life experience, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she hugged Li Canghai.

"Canghai... You are so miserable, you have never seen anything from your parents. Don't be sad, you still have me, Qing'er will always be with you." Di Qing choked on her sobs.

Li Canghai came back to his senses, reached out his hand to wipe the teardrops on Di Qing's face, and said softly: "Qing'er, thank you for being with me all the time. It's getting late, we should go out."

Di Qing nodded, followed Li Canghai, and walked out.

Li Canghai and Di Qing came directly to Yimen of Luoyang Mansion, and officials of all ranks in Luoyang Mansion near Yimen saluted Li Canghai.

"Look! That's Mr. Li Canghai!"

"Which? Which?"

Among the people, there was a sound of rustling.

"Hey, the one with a woman standing beside him!"

"So young? Are you sure you didn't admit your mistake?"

Among the people, there was a sound of surprise.

"Of course, is this still false? Master Li once ate in my small restaurant, how can I admit my mistake?" The man was triumphant, and his tone was very sure. It was none other than the owner of the mutton restaurant.

"So young and promising! Who is that woman next to him?"

The owner of the mutton restaurant scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly: "I don't know about this...but obviously, it must be Mrs. Li's confidante! Standing together, they are like golden boys and girls!"

Everyone had no doubts about this, and nodded their heads in agreement.

Li Canghai himself was handsome and elegant, but after wearing the purple robe and jade belt, he looked even more handsome and handsome.

But Di Qing is as delicate and beautiful as a flower, holding a sword in her hand, and there is a little more heroic spirit in her delicate beauty.

The two stood together, looking like a golden boy and a jade girl.

Li Canghai exchanged a few words with everyone in Luoyang Mansion, and then looked into the distance.

At this moment, a large group of people gradually approached Luoyang Mansion from far away.

The flags are fluttering, and the fairy music is melodious.

The cavalry led the way, followed by spearmen, followed by Liyuan children holding various musical instruments.

Afterwards, there were nine dragon horses and BMWs, pulling an extremely luxurious dragon chariot.

On both sides of the dragon chariot, Huangfu Kun and Gao Lishi escorted them.

After the dragon chariot, there is a group of officials headed by Yang Guozhong.

Hundreds of people came to the Luoyang government office in mighty force.

The people were astonished and stretched their necks to look.

Seeing this, Li Canghai hurriedly led a group of officials from the Luoyang Mansion to greet him.

Soon, the people arrived in front of Luoyang Mansion.

Li Canghai led all the people to kneel and worship: "My minister Li Canghai leads all the officials of Luoyang Mansion to welcome you!"

Only then did the common people know that it was today's day, and they all knelt down on the ground, bowing respectfully to the dragon chariot.

Li Longji walked out of the dragon chariot, and with Gao Lishi's support, he got off the dragon chariot, waved and said, "Everyone is flat!"

Then everyone stood up.

Li Longji walked up to Li Canghai, stroked his beard, and said, "Li Aiqing, these seven days have passed, and I have also come to Luoyang Mansion. Next, you have to give me an explanation!"

Li Canghai respectfully said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely give His Majesty an explanation."

Li Longji nodded, and then walked into the courtroom.

The entourage moved the dragon chair to the warm pavilion, and Li Longji sat in it.

Li Canghai bowed respectfully to Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, can we start now?"

Li Longji nodded, and said: "This time you are the presiding judge, I am just here to observe, you have the final say."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Canghai got up, walked behind the trial table, patted Jingmu Hall, and said seriously: "My official, Li Canghai, is a newly promoted minister of Dali Temple. I was ordered by the holy order to investigate the case of Qin Fu, the general of Huaihua, collaborating with the enemy and treason 14 years ago. On August 12, [-], Tianbao opened a court in Luoyang Mansion to retry the case."

Li Canghai's face was serious, his majestic eyes swept over the obviously surprised officials and common people, and he shouted: "Success!"

Following his stern shout, the entire courtroom suddenly became solemn.

Everyone fell into silence and looked at Li Canghai one after another.

"Qin Fu, guarding the border gates for ten years, his voice shook the border gates, and his reputation is illustrious. In the 27th year of Kaiyuan, he was named General Huaihua. The next year, he was sentenced to death for collaborating with the enemy and treason, and all his families were beheaded."

Li Longji in the warm pavilion was sipping a cup of tea, when he heard Li Canghai's words, the cup in his hand trembled suddenly, and his brows frowned.

Then I heard Li Canghai go on to say: "I came into contact with this case accidentally, and found that the case is very suspicious. The case of Qin Fu's collusion with the enemy and treason was tried jointly by the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Yushitai Division. When I checked the case files back then, I couldn’t find the relevant closing statement. Luoyang Mansion didn’t have one, nor did Dali Temple, Criminal Ministry, and Yushitai.”

When the officials heard the words, they all whispered to each other.

The common people don't know the relevant policies of the imperial court, but these officials are very familiar with them.

Whenever a case occurs, no matter how big or small, there must be records related to the case, which are used to record the time, process, and final result of the case. This is the closing statement.

After the case is over, the closing statement must be included in the file for future reference.

Qin Fu's collusion with the enemy and treason is such a big case that there is no closing statement, which really makes people feel a little unreasonable.

However, this is only a little surprising. After all, the case has already been settled in the past, and no one would think to read the case. Naturally, no one would be able to detect the problem.

"Only because there is no closing statement, do you believe that there is something hidden in this case?" Yang Guozhong asked.

Li Canghai glanced at him and said, "The reason why I think there is something strange about it is because the Holy Majesty has seen this closing statement before."

Li Longji frowned slightly, and said: "I did read the words of this case back then, what's so strange about it?"

Li Canghai bowed deeply to Li Longji, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you still remember what was said in the case?"

Li Longji thought for a while and said, "I remember the above said that after the interrogation of the three divisions, Qin Fu confessed to his crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason."

"Your Majesty, I have a statement from that year, Your Majesty, please read it." Li Canghai took out a statement from his satchel, held it above his head, and said.

Seeing this, Gao Lishi immediately walked over and presented the case to Li Longji.

After Li Longji unfolded it, he looked carefully.

After he finished reading, his complexion suddenly changed, and his tone became much colder.

"Li Canghai, what's going on?" Li Longji asked coldly.

The officials felt confused and guessed what it was that could make the emperor so angry.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this is what the San Judiciary found out back then. They did not really find out the direct evidence of Qin Fu's collusion with the enemy and treason. relationship, and this kind of relationship made them realize that this matter is not as simple as they imagined." Li Canghai said.

"You mean, the closing statement that I saw back then was forged? The San Judiciary deliberately lied to me with false testimony?" Li Longji asked in a deep voice.

Li Canghai shook his head and said: "Your Majesty calm down and listen to the minister. In fact, the testimony submitted to Yulan was deliberately done by someone with a heart, and the San Judiciary was forced to sign the case. However, after this Afterwards, the three courts became more certain that there was something wrong with this matter, so they destroyed the fake closing statements in their respective mansions, and after that, they resigned one after another."

"You said those case documents were destroyed by the Sanju Judiciary? Why did they destroy the case documents?" Yang Guozhong asked in surprise.

"Because, this case statement is not the result of their investigation. They know that they are helpless and cannot find out the truth of the matter. The purpose of destroying the testimony is to hope that someone will notice the case in the future, so that they can see the strangeness from it, and thus Investigate what happened back then." Li Canghai said.

Li Longji's face was a bit ugly, he threw the testimony out casually, and said displeasedly: "Although there is a big difference between this case statement and the case statement I saw back then, they all have the signatures of the three courts. How do I know this?" Is the copy not fake?"

"Your Majesty, when the three courts were coerced and forced to sign and confirm the closing statement, it was really helpless. Afterwards, several people took this evidence to resign and go back to hiding, but they encountered accidents one after another. First, they tried together with the three courts. In this case, the governor of Luoyang was killed by bandits, and then the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was also killed. After the doctor Yushi and the minister of Dali Temple resigned, they were hunted down again and again. , will never be fake!" Li Canghai said.
