Datang: I was overheard by the Empress

Chapter 90 Hu Jinghui, Commander of the Forbidden Army!
Several people walked towards the center of Dali Temple while talking. At this moment, Her Majesty the Empress had just left, and the heavy guards ordered had not yet arrived, and Dali Temple had not been surrounded.

At this moment, the thousand city guards are still guarding the Dali Temple, so Di Renjie and the others can still enter the Dali Temple.

Of course, it is only limited to Di Renjie and the others. All other officials, big and small, of Dali Temple have been cleared out at this moment.
After all, Dali Temple was the scene of the first crime, and even though most of it had been burned down, there might still be some clues that could be found.
Even if these city guards didn't stop them, it was impossible for Di Renjie to let other people in. After all, although Di Renjie was in critical condition, he was still the Minister of Dali Temple and the third-rank official of Tang Dynasty!

At this time, the fire in Dali Temple has been completely extinguished. Although there is still residual smoke rising, it is impossible to continue to cause the fire!
"Master Ma, did you hear someone yelling for water!"

Di Renjie asked as he walked, thinking carefully. After all, from some cases that Di Renjie has been in contact with before, there are often cases where the thief shouts "stop the thief", and the first person who finds out the situation is often the murderer!
"This official didn't hear clearly!"

Ma Yuanbang shook his head immediately: "The situation was too complicated at that time. The fire in the archive room was fierce and the smoke was billowing, which instantly attracted other people in Dali Temple. Go to the archives room to fight the fire, but the fire is too big, and the water stored in the corner of my Dali Temple has all frozen, so it is impossible to get water to put out the fire!"

At this time, Di Renjie had already reached the archives room of Dali Temple. Because the archives room of Dali Temple had to store important files, there were only doors and no windows. go to the archives

The key to the archive room is only kept in the hands of Di Renjie and Ma Yuanbang, and the others have no key to unlock it at all!

But at this moment, the archives room of Dali Temple in front of Di Renjie has become a ruined wall. The thousands of files stored in the archives room have become the best fire starter. The place where the fire in Dali Temple was most intense just now is the archives room!
"Your Excellency understands what happened after that. The fire in Dali Temple is not good for the lower officials to put out the fire. Please punish me, Your Excellency!"

Ma Yuanbang said in a deep voice, with a look of shame on his face!
"Master Ma, there is no need to be like this. You and I are officials in the same dynasty. This matter is due to my negligence and has nothing to do with Master Ma!"

Di Renjie said in a deep voice immediately, he didn't mean to put the blame on Ma Yuanbang at all,
One is because Di Renjie didn't have this idea at all, and the other is that this matter was directed at him, Di Renjie, even if Di Renjie wanted to blame him, he couldn't get rid of it!
"My lord, the fire is very big. All the files in the archives room have been burned, and the door locks have been burned to molten iron!"

Li Yuanfang stepped forward and twitched a bit, and picked out a black bump from the ruined walls. It was the big copper lock that locked the archive room. No shapeless copper bumps!

Di Renjie frowned for a moment. It is often difficult to find effective clues in fires, because many evidences are burned away in fires!

Di Ping'an looked at the mess in front of him, and at this moment he couldn't stop complaining!

[What a ruthless method, this big fire burned everything up, even if there were any clues left, I'm afraid it would have disappeared long ago! 】

[The most important thing is that my brother was not in Dali Temple at the time, so he couldn't direct the rescue immediately, but the timing chosen by the other party was really... Absolutely, the water in the water tank was frozen, and Ma Yuanbang didn't Do not count! 】

At this moment, Di Pingan looked at everyone with suspicious eyes, especially Ma Yuanbang, the young minister of Dali Temple, who was Di Pingan's first object of suspicion.
After all, when the fire first started, everyone in Dali Temple was there. Although the water in the water tank was frozen, so many people in Dali Temple were watching, and the fire would not directly burn half of Dali Temple. , especially the most important archive room of Dali Temple, it was burned to the point that there was no scum left!
Li Yuanfang checked the scene for a while, then turned his head, and shook his head at Di Renjie with a solemn expression: "My lord, I didn't find anything!"

Di Renjie nodded helplessly: "It seems that the other party came prepared!"

In such a situation, it is impossible for Di Renjie to think that this is a natural fire, but the other party's hands and feet are too clean, and there are no traces left.
This can only explain one thing, that is, this matter is probably done by the insiders of Dali Temple!
After all, no matter how you say it, Dali Temple can be regarded as heavily guarded, and it is impossible for ordinary people to sneak into Dali Temple.
Not to mention that the Dali Temple was directly burned in broad daylight, and the location of the archives room of the Dali Temple was clearly known, because judging from the situation of the fire just now, the source of the fire was in the archives room, indicating that the other party was Fired in the archives!

In this way, as long as the other party can ignite the archive room, the thousands of files in the archive room will naturally become the best fire starter.

In addition, all the water tanks in the corners of the Dali Temple were frozen into lumps of ice, so half of the Dali Temple was directly burned down in broad daylight under the eyes of the fully staffed Dali Temple officials!
……

But at this time, there was a sound of soldiers and horses being mobilized outside Dali Temple.
Soon a person walked in from outside the Dali Temple. He was dressed all over his body, and even his helmet was fully wrapped, with only a pair of eyes exposed!
"Lord Di, Hu Jinghui, the last commander of the imperial army, was ordered to take care of Dali Temple. Please forgive me, Lord Di!"

What should come is still coming. The Empress sent troops to guard Dali Temple before, but now that Hu Jinghui is leading troops here, it is natural to clear Di Renjie and the others out!

What the empress left Di Renjie was just this time difference, but unfortunately during this time, they didn't find anything suspicious in the marble!

"Thank you General!"

Di Renjie didn't say much, and walked out with Li Yuanfang, Di Ping'an and Ma Yuanbang, and let Hu Jinghui lead the imperial guards to surround Dali Temple with three floors inside and three floors outside!

……

"The Dali Temple has been searched and nothing can be found. Mr. Ma has worked hard for you. There is nothing else to do. Please go back first, Mr. Ma. I am going to visit Lord Yan!"

Di Renjie said in a deep voice, since the Dali Temple can't find any problems, it means that Di Renjie has no chance to clear himself of his suspicions.
And at tomorrow's court meeting, one can imagine what kind of storm Di Renjie will face. At this time, Di Renjie naturally wants to discuss with Yan Liben first!
"Yes!" Ma Yuanbang didn't say much, and left with a look of remorse on his face!
