Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 552
"Brother Li, I also really want to know how you strategized, you should tell me." Conan said with a smile.

Li Canghai looked around, and said: "This is not a place to talk, everyone, let's go back to the Sheriff's Mansion first, I think, at this time, the prince and Lord Yang have already cleaned up the mess."

Everyone nodded in agreement, leaving Li Jinsheng to lead the garrison to continue cleaning up the dead and wounded bodies in the Wengcheng, and everyone followed Li Canghai back to the Sheriff's Mansion.

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion, Li Tan and Yang Shicheng had already turned around, seeing Li Canghai and the others coming back, Yang Shicheng hurried up to greet them.

"Your Excellency is welcome." Yang Shicheng admired Li Canghai very much.

Before, he had only heard about how Li Canghai repeatedly solved strange cases, but he had never seen it before. Now, under his arrangement, the Japanese pirates who tried to capture Yangzhou City were captured in one fell swoop, so he realized that the rumors were not exaggerated. .

What he admired the most was that he not only wiped out all the Japanese pirates, but also didn't hurt any common people, which is unbelievable.

"Master Yang, how is your situation?" Li Canghai asked.

Yang Shicheng respectfully said: "My lord, everything is according to your arrangement. The Japanese pirates who attacked the North Gate were all besieged in the Wengcheng, and no one escaped."

Li Canghai nodded, and said: "That's good. I also ask Mr. Yang to send people to patrol all over the city, so as to prevent the fish that slipped through the net from taking the opportunity to make trouble."

Yang Shicheng said: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials have ordered people to patrol the city, and if they find anyone with strange whereabouts, they will be arrested immediately."

With his hands behind his back, Li Tan said with a smile on his lips, "Cang Hai, why don't you ask me how the situation is over there?"

Li Canghai smiled and said: "With the prince and the Jianning iron guards around, those Japanese pirates may not be able to escape in time, so how can they break through the prince's defense?"

Li Tan nodded in satisfaction, and said: "If the Tang Dynasty had a few more wise and brave officials like you, it would definitely be able to reproduce the prosperous age."

"My lord is too famous." Li Canghai said deeply: "There are many wise and brave people in the Tang Dynasty, but most of them have nowhere to serve the country."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone became silent.

They all know that the current court is controlled by Yang Guozhong, and it is difficult for loyal ministers and righteous men to enter the court as officials.

The entire Tang Dynasty is now controlled by the treacherous party headed by Yang Guozhong. They eliminate dissidents, and the party unites to attack dissidents, so that talented people have to bury the people.

Li Yu touched his nose. He found the atmosphere a bit awkward, so he coughed twice and said, "Brother Huang, let's not mention this matter for now, let the gentleman talk about how he strategized and controlled the overall situation? I have always been very Curious!"

Yang Shicheng also nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes! I also really want to know how your lord arranged to wipe out the Japanese pirates who have been invading the coast for more than ten years. This is simply amazing!"

Li Canghai saw that everyone wanted to know, so he nodded and said: "Actually, on Penglai Island, I already knew that the rogues from Sang Island were going to attack Yangzhou City. It's just that I didn't know their plan at that time, until Brother Conan and I When I went to Zailai Town, I found some clues in the home of Zhang Wenyuan, a rich man in Zailai Town, and then secretly planned all this."

Conan was puzzled and said: "Brother Li, you said you knew on the island that they would attack Yangzhou City? How is this possible?"

Not only Conan, but even Li Yu and others were at a loss.

That Penglai Island is isolated from the outside world, except for some pirates, there is no one else, how could he know there that the rogues from Sang Island are going to attack Yangzhou?Could it be that he is really good at divination?
Thinking of this, the way Li Yu looked at Li Canghai suddenly became weird.

Li Canghai smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Conan, do you still remember that I once told you about the whereabouts of another treasure of your country, 'Amaterasu Brocade Box'?"

Conan nodded and said, "Of course I remember, brother Li said that the brocade box was brought to Datang by Ms. Fujiwara Kyoko, but it disappeared afterwards. It is very likely that it fell into the hands of those wanderers in Sang Island."

"Yes, this incident happened more than a month ago. At that time, I was an official in Zhengyang, and I happened to come into contact with this matter. Later, I learned that the brocade box might fall into the hands of the rogues of Sang Island, so I sent Panlong secret guards to infiltrate Sang Island , investigating in secret. And last time on Penglai Island, among the rogues we met, there happened to be Panlong Secret Guard hiding in it. After solving those rogues, he revealed a piece of news to me, that is, in At that time, I guessed that they were eyeing Yangzhou City." Li Canghai said.

"It turns out that Mr. arranged spies to sneak into Sang Island early in the morning, no wonder!" Li Yu suddenly realized.

Li Canghai shook his head and said: "No, it's not a spy, but an undercover agent. Until later, Brother Conan and I discovered that Zhang Wenyuan had colluded with those rogues, and Zhang Wenyuan also turned his back on the dark and turned to the light, and told me all about their attack on Yangzhou City. I just thought it was a trick."

"Oh? Tell me!" Li Yu said impatiently.

"At first, I asked Zhang Wenyuan to continue to cooperate with them without showing any signs of expression, and tried my best to encourage them, saying that this was the best time to attack Yangzhou City. At the same time, I deliberately let the pirates think that the three artifacts really wanted Leaving Yangzhou. Of course, the importance of the three artifacts is unquestionable, and in this way, it becomes reasonable to deploy nearly half of the garrison troops in Yangzhou City to accompany them as guards." Li Canghai said.

"But, won't they doubt it?" Yang Shicheng asked in surprise.

Li Canghai smiled lightly, and said: "If this news comes from other people, they may be skeptical, but if it comes from Zhang Wenyuan, they will definitely believe it."

"Why is that?" Yang Shicheng asked puzzled.

Li Canghai snorted, and said: "Because they have cooperated for many years. In these years, no matter how many troops the imperial court sent to encircle and suppress them, they all returned without success. Master Shou didn't suspect the reason for this?"

Yang Shicheng was stunned for a moment, he bowed to Li Canghai in a daze, and said, "I don't understand, I hope my lord can give me some advice."

"That's because Zhang Wenyuan told them all the court's movements." Li Canghai said coldly.

"This...how is this possible?" Yang Shicheng was astonished, and he said in disbelief: "The use of troops by the imperial court is a secret matter. Except for the Ministry of War and the local county guard, it is impossible for others to know the specific itinerary. Although Zhang Wenyuan has some wealth, he After all, without an official position, how would he know the route and time of the army's itinerary?"

"Zhang Wenyuan doesn't know, but someone does." Li Canghai said indifferently.

"Who?" Yang Shicheng asked in surprise.
