Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 737
Li Canghai frowned slightly, and sighed: "It's a pity that Zhang Wenyuan and Song Kun, who are the most beneficial to testify against Yang Guozhong, are dead. It will be even more difficult to deal with Yang Guozhong. It's my fault that I sent Zhang Wenyuan secretly to Chang'an to live in seclusion. You can avoid Yang Guozhong's sight, but I didn't expect him to die, alas."

Di Qing tilted her head and said, "Cang Hai, since you secretly brought Zhang Wenyuan to Chang'an long ago, why didn't you send someone to protect him?"

Li Canghai shook his head and sighed: "This is also my negligence. Zhang Wenyuan has repented of all the things he has done. Sending him to Chang'an is for his safety. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the The safest. Yang Guozhong would never have imagined that Zhang Wenyuan had been living under his nose all the time. Moreover, judging from the situation during this period, it was indeed the case. At least for more than two months, Yang Guozhong I didn't find Zhang Wenyuan's whereabouts. However, I still underestimated Yang Guozhong's power, I didn't expect him to find Zhang Wenyuan at this juncture, alas!"

"Sir, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, why should you care too much about it? Yang Guozhong is insidious and cunning, crossing rivers and tearing down bridges, how can anyone like this kind of person really be willing to work for him? Sooner or later, he will betray his relatives!" Li Yu solemnly said Said.

"Cang Hai, what are your plans next?" Li Tan asked calmly with his hands behind his back.

Li Canghai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "The most important thing right now is to interrogate the three thieves who have been captured, and hope to get some useful clues from them."

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Li Tan asked.

"You don't need to trouble your lord. Just leave this matter to me." Li Canghai said.

Li Tan nodded and said: "In that case, the king will go back to the mansion first."

"My lord please." Li Canghai clasped his fists and said.

After Li Tan left, Li Canghai asked Di Qing to go home first, and then he took Lu Jitong to the prison.

On the way to the prison, Li Canghai frowned, said nothing, and his expression was very solemn.

"Ji Tong, have you found out anything else during the two days you spent with the traitor?" Li Canghai asked suddenly with his hands behind his back.

Lu Jitong looked around and said in a low voice, "My lord, I have indeed found out some things."

"Oh? What did you find out?" Li Cang asked while walking by the sea.

Lu Jitong immediately moved closer to his ear and whispered for a while.

After listening, Li Canghai closed his eyes, rubbed the center of his brow vigorously, and then heaved a long sigh, as if he was quite disappointed.

Seeing this, Lu Jitong was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Li Canghai sighed, and said, "There's no need to go to the Heavenly Prison, go back to Dali Temple."

Lu Jitong was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "My lord, are you going to interrogate them?"

"The gossip master is the core leader of 'Nilin Xuanwu', they will not speak easily. Besides, what I want to know is already known now, so there is no need to waste any more time." Li Canghai said lightly.

Lu Jitong was a little confused, but he had no doubts about what Li Canghai said, so he took Qian Niuwei and escorted him to Dali Temple.

In addition to Lu Jitong, the group was accompanied by Zhou Feiyan, the director of Dali Temple.

Li Canghai looked back at Zhou Feiyan who was walking forward with his hands in his sleeves and bowed his head, and suddenly asked, "Master Zhou, I have something to ask you."

Zhou Feiyan was slightly taken aback, then hurriedly bowed and said, "Excuse me, my lord."

"What's the matter with Weicheng and Lin Yuanliang?" Li Canghai asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Feiyan said in surprise, "Isn't it arranged by the adults?"

Li Canghai frowned slightly and said: "What's going on? Didn't I ask you to investigate whether Weicheng and the old man Bai were killed? How did you bring Weicheng and Lin Yuanliang to Su Wang's mansion?"

Zhou Feiyan said in a daze: "The lower official went to Longwuwei to investigate the murder of the old man Bai according to what the lord said. When the lower official found the Weicheng, he was in Lin Yuanliang's tent. The lower official explained the purpose of coming." After that, they sat down and talked with the two. Unexpectedly, the guard who came to serve the tea actually poisoned the tea! Fortunately, before the time was up, someone knocked over the teacup in Xiaguan's hand with a hidden weapon That's why the three officials didn't drink the poisoned tea."

Zhou Feiyan wiped the sweat from his forehead while talking, it seems that thinking about it still makes him feel lingering fear.

"What happened after that?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

"Just as Xiaguan and the others were surprised, the guard who served tea suddenly attacked Weicheng and Lin Yuanliang! The man's martial arts skills were extremely high, and he cut Weicheng and Lin Yuanliang with two moves. Just then At the very moment, the camp tent was torn apart suddenly, and two burly men rushed in. The two strong men were also people with extremely high martial arts skills. It was full of archers, and when the killer rushed out of the camp, he was shot into a hedgehog. Before the official could figure out what happened, the two strong men told the official that the lord was in Su Wang's mansion, waiting for the official Bring witnesses to go. If you go late, your lord's situation may be in danger. After hearing the words, the subordinate hurriedly took Long Wuwei to escort Weicheng and Lin Yuanliang to Su Wang's mansion."

After saying this, Zhou Feiyan said in a daze: "Why, my lord? Didn't you deliberately arrange this?"

Li Canghai didn't speak, but lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

This thing is really strange.

He never thought that Song Kun would kill people to silence them, let alone send someone to protect them.

But who sent those two strong men?
First, Conan can be ruled out.

Although Conan is responsible for investigating the internal thieves, he does not have the right to deploy troops.

From what Zhou Feiyan said, it can be seen that the two strong men can not only freely enter and leave the important area of ​​Longwuwei, but also can dispatch sergeants.

Secondly, Li Tan can be ruled out.

Because, when Conan was investigating the internal thief, Li Tan was dealing with 'Nilin Xuanwu' with Feng Changqing and others outside the city.

As for others, it is even less likely.

"Able to freely enter and leave the important areas of the military camp, and have the right to mobilize the Longwuwei..." Li Canghai muttered a few words, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood.

"It turns out that he has been observing everything in secret!" Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and laughed to himself.

"My lord, what are you talking about?" Zhou Fei asked puzzled.

Li Canghai smiled slightly, and said: "It's all right, thanks to Mr. Zhou who arrived in time today. Otherwise, I would really be in a difficult situation."

Zhou Feiyan hurriedly bent down to salute, and said respectfully, "I'm afraid. It's my honor to be able to serve you. As long as you don't give up, I'm willing to follow you forever!"

"Your Majesty Zhou is too serious. With your ability, it's really a bit of a shame to be a small master." After a pause, Li Canghai said: "It happens that there is still a vacancy for the young minister of Dali Temple, so you can fill it! This matter, I will report back to the Holy Majesty. Tomorrow, you will take over the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple!"
