Chapter 138 The Second King's Case 4
"See His Royal Highness the King of Lu, and I have met His Royal Highness the King of Zhou."
Di Renjie, who presided over the scene of the fire under Li Xian's order, did not participate in the previous order. At this time, he was leading a group of people to explore the site. When he saw the Li Xian brothers coming together, he hurriedly greeted the general and respectfully saluted him.
"No, Mr. Di, what progress has been made?"
Li Xian knew that Di Renjie was Li Xian's beloved. He was obviously polite between his words, and a rare smile was squeezed out of his tight face.
"Your Highness, from the results of the preliminary exploration, the fire is highly suspected of being man-made. The subordinate has ordered the people present at the time of the fire to be taken care of, and everything has yet to be further examined." Di Renjie is cautious by nature. Although he has made progress, his words are not too full.
"A man-made? How can I see it?" Li Xian knew that the fire was strange, but he didn't have much hope for whether he could find something. At this time, as soon as he heard Di Renjie's words, he immediately became interested. He raised his eyebrows and hurried to ask a question.
"Your Highness, according to the results of the on-site survey, there is more than one fire in the warehouse. It should be a fire that started at the east and north at the same time. The fire is ten feet apart. Obviously, it is not caused by the fire. Moreover, according to the fire situation at the scene, the fire is fierce and fierce, and there must be something to help to start the fire. From this two things, it can be seen that this fire must There is no doubt that it is artificial." Di Renjie has his own gully in his heart, and the answer is very clear, so that people can understand the whole thing at a time.
"Okay, Duke Di is worthy of Lao Xingming. If he can solve this huge case this time, he will be the great contribution of Duke Di!" Seeing that the case was quite progressed, Li Xian was very excited and slapped high-fives, praising Di Renjie very much.
"Your Highness is overreputed, and this official has a good reputation." Di Renjie was not moved by Li Xian's strong praise, and calmly thanked him.
"Brother Six, Duke Di is the first god of my Tang Dynasty. This case will be handed over to Duke Di. You and my brother only need to preside over the overall situation."
Li Xian has long regarded Di Renjie as his confidant, and he has the intention to use it. However, Di Renjie has just arrived in the court, and his foundation is extremely shallow, and Li Xian is not strong enough. This time, the huge case of Dali Temple broke out. There is no doubt that it is a good opportunity for Di Renjie to officially enter the court stage. At this time, Li Xian praised Di Renjie, and Li Xian is very tight. I rushed to push the boat along the water.
"Well, well, since he is the person recommended by the seventh brother, I will wait for the good news of Duke Di." Li Xian has always believed in Li Xian's vision, but after all, this matter is really too important. Li Xian can't help but be more cautious. On second thought, he has no experience in deciding the case. Instead of taking action indiscriminately, it is better to believe that Di Renjie has come. After all, Di Renjie's previous analysis and even judgments all show his extraordinary talent. After a little meditation, he agreed to Li Xian's request.
"Di Gong only needs to focus on the arson case. As for the inventory of the case, you don't have to worry about it. Let Song Xian do this matter. Sixth brother, do you think it's possible?" Li Xian intended to make Di Ren outstanding, but he did not intend to make him the target of public criticism. He added a sentence with a smile, and then looked at Li Xian with inquiring eyes, asking for instructions.
"Well, that's it."
For Li Xian's suggestion, Li Xian was not in a hurry to veto it, but he was not in a hurry to agree. After all, this matter is really too important. If you don't stare at it in person, it is difficult for Li Xian to calm down. The problem is that there is no Li Xian's right-hand man in Dali Temple. Li Xian's people are responsible for it, but there is nothing wrong with it. The two brothers are like Today is a grasshopper on a rope. If something really happens, no one can please him. In view of this, after a moment of meditation, Li Xian still agreed to Li Xian's proposal.
"The sixth brother is wise."
Li Xian joked with Li Xian with a smile, which was relaxed and comfortable.
"You, it's all at this time, and you still want to say this. Let Wei Wei said what's good about you." Being teased by Li Xian, Li Xian was stunned at first, and then stared at Li Xian with tears and laughter. He laughed and scolded angrily, but his originally tight heart relaxed. Finally, he looked at Li Xian, and the two brothers laughed loudly at the same time...
As the saying goes, if some people are happy, some people will be worried. The Li Xian brothers are in a good mood, but Li Hong in the East Palace is worried and his face is full of bad luck - Li Hong is very angry, not ordinary anger, just because the government of Dali Temple is really too important, Li Hong was originally planned to fight. After a slap in the face, the Empress Wu took the opportunity to put her tentacles into the Dali Temple. She didn't want to control it all. She always wanted a cup of the soup, but she never expected that the Dali Temple had an extremely strange fire. In the end, the case actually belonged to the Li Xian brothers, which made Li Hong have a disgusting feeling of marrying clothes.
That's right. At this stage, Li Hong's main political enemy is the Empress Wu, who is in politics. For this reason, he unites all the living forces to stop the growing ambition of the Empress Wu. There is nothing to care about. But the problem is that the ambitious Li Xian and the ambiguous Li Xian are not good birds. I'm afraid that their eyes are also aiming at the east. The position of the palace really makes the two kids grow up like this, and it is bound to be big. Li Hong can's heart inevitably have a sense of embarrassment of driving the tiger and the back door into the wolf. Between the trade-offs, there is a lot of regrets. The taste of such sandwich biscuits is naturally extremely uncomfortable. It's strange that Li Hong is not upset. His annoyance No, the atmosphere all over the palace was suppressed, and a group of eunuchs and maids were trembling and did not even dare to breathe, for fear that they would become the target of the prince's anger if they were not careful.
"Your Highness, there is news."
Just as Li Hong sat behind several children with a gloomy face and meditated silently, Wang Dequan rushed in from the outside of the study. As soon as he saw the prince's face, he couldn't take a breath of breath, so he roared and reported.
"Oh?" As soon as Li Hong heard this, he immediately got up and opened his mouth to ask, but when the words came to his mouth, he forcibly put up with it. He just waved his hand to a group of people in the study with a straight face, and ordered coldly, "All of you and others retreat!"
"No."
A group of eunuchs and maids were afraid of being angry. When they heard Li Hong's order like this, there was no reason not to go quickly.
"Your Highness, the king of Lu and the king of Zhou beat Qiu Shenfu of Dali Temple in public and detained all the officials of Dali Temple. It's a big deal. I guess it's time to get the news from the other end of the palace." As soon as everyone retreated, Wang Dequan couldn't wait to come to Li Hong and whispered, and his voice was full of excitement.
"Well, is there such a thing?"
As soon as Li Hong heard that his two younger brothers acted so boldly and fiercely, he couldn't help twitching a few times and muttered hesitantly.
"That's right, it's true. The maidservant has received an accurate report. It is said that the two His Royal Highnesss asked Di Renjie to be responsible for the arson case, and Song Xian is responsible for sorting out the remnants of the case. It is said that the arson case has made a slight breakthrough, and it can be confirmed that it is man-made arson. As for the losses under the case, it is estimated to be more than 70%." Wang Dequan raised his sleeves, wiped the sweat all over his face, and hurried to explain.
"Hmm." Li Hong didn't say anything more. He just said nothing. He lowered his head and paced back and forth in the study. His face kept changing. After a long time, he suddenly stopped and looked sideways at Wang Dequan and said, "What else is there any other news?"
"This..." Wang Dequan was stunned, and then suddenly remembered something. He just bowed down and replied, "Your Highness, there is one more thing. According to the online report, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou took a soldier in Jingzhao Mansion."
"Huh? What's going on? Say it!"
As soon as Li Hong heard this, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly asked.
"This..., I don't know what's going on. I only know that the soldier was called by Chen Renhao, the young man of Jingzhao Mansion. I don't know the specific reason." How could Wang Dequan care about the problem of a pawn? He never put his mind on it. Hearing Li Hong's question so urgent, he panicked and hurriedly bowed and explained a few vaguely.
"Chen Renhao? Soldiers?"
When Li Hong saw that Wang Dequan's words were unknown, he couldn't help but get angry and stared at Wang Dequan fiercely, but he didn't ask for details. He just lowered his head and walked up and muttered in his mouth. However, he couldn't think about it for a long time - Chen Renhao's person, Li Hong naturally knew it, but he was not very close, and he didn't. What is too deep impression? In Li Hong's eyes, Chen Renhao is just a middle-level official with little talent. He really can't figure out the intention of Li Xian's detention of a soldier under Chen Renhao for no reason. But there is one thing that Li Hong knows in his heart, that is, Li Xian's boy has never done useless things. Obviously, There is definitely something strange here, but what is strange is not what Li Hong can see through.
"Go and check the origin of that soldier!" Li Hong pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the strangeness of the matter. After a burst of upset, he shouted angrily.
"Ah, yes, the maidservant is going, this is going."
Seeing that Li Hong attached so much importance to this matter, Wang Dequan did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly answered and hurried out of the study to find out the truth.
"Bingding? Chen Renhao? Could it be..."
After Wang Dequan left, Li Hong was still thinking about Li Xian's intention. After walking back and forth in the study for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up and seemed to remember something, but he was not sure. His face became wonderful in an instant. When he was hesitating, he saw Wang Dequan rushing in again and rushed to Li Hong. In front of him, he whispered a report: "Your Highness, the matter has been made clear. The soldier's surname is Yan Minghe. It is said that he was the first to find the fire in Dali Temple and reported to Jingzhaofu. In order to take this person, His Highness the King of Zhou has been in conflict with Chen Renhao, and the maidservant has sent someone to Jingzhaofu to investigate the root of this person in detail."
"So it is!" Li Hong sneered, waved Wang Dequan to his side, put his mouth on his ear, and ordered in a low voice. He heard that Wang Dequan's eyes were all the time, and his face kept changing...
