Tang riddles

At this moment, Murong Fu's heart stirred up strong waves.He never expected that Shen Sui would come to such a conclusion.She actually thought that Shan Yin might be the murderer of the abbot?Although Shen Sui's wording was very cautious, repeatedly emphasizing that this was just speculation, but Murong Fu felt that this speculation was very likely to be true.

Thinking again and again, Murong Fu suddenly thought of it.If this case was really submitted to the saint with Shen Sui's current set of rational and well-founded arguments, the saint would certainly not feel any difference.Anyway, the abbot and Shanyin are dead, and there is no connection between Shanyin's family and widows. If we don't blame Shanyin, we can say that he killed the abbot. .In this way, wouldn't the case be solved?It doesn't implicate the outside world, and it doesn't count as losing the face of the royal family. My Jingzhao Mansion can quickly close the case. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

This thought was going back and forth in Murong Fu's mind, which made his heart skip a beat, and he felt that his idea was really too clever.The sage doesn't really care about the truth of the case, he only cares about the face of the royal family. The princess of Jin is involved in this matter, and an accident happened in the national temple, so the sage is so furious.Now that the case is closed in such a way, this issue has become an internal issue of the Guosi, and it has also become a personal enmity between the abbot and Shanyin, and it has nothing to do with the suspicion of whether someone wants to embarrass the Princess of Jin.Wouldn't it be more beautifying if it was modified a little bit more, and it was modified into Shanshan who killed the abbot by mistake, and hanged himself with extreme guilt?In this way, it can be used as a tragedy to wash away the ugliness in it, so that the people can only feel sympathy and divert attention.

Murong Fu was thinking excitedly. Although he didn't show it on the surface, Qin Zhen who was sitting opposite him had already seen what was going on in his heart.What Murong Fu thought was actually what Qin Zhen thought too. This case was not only a criminal case, but also more or less involved political interests.It cannot be handled simply in the way of criminal cases, but political interests must also be taken into consideration.

At this time, Princess Jin spoke:

"Shen Yihui's deduction is really wonderful, and Jin Yue admires it so much. But since the case is still unclear, Lord Murong, please follow up and find out those unclear backgrounds as soon as possible. "

Murong Fu turned sideways, bowed to Li Jinyue, and sang:

"Your official will live up to the princess' trust." His eyes looked into Li Jinyue's almond pupils, and seeing the meaningful hints in them, Murong Fu understood that the princess was also a sensible person, and wanted to go with him.At that moment, he was very happy, a big stone that had been stuck in his heart for a long time disappeared, since Shen Sui's deduction was used as a guide, wouldn't the follow-up matters be easy to grasp?Making up some evidence and making up a story is his specialty.

How powerful is Shen Sui's ability to observe words and emotions? At this moment, how can he not know that Murong Fu and Princess Jin have secretly reached an agreement?What Murong Fu was thinking in her heart, she didn't need to think too much about it, and this was something she had already considered last night.She is mentally prepared and knows how to deal with such a situation.Although there are still many loopholes in her statement, for example, the batch of inexplicably stolen scriptures, she did not mention a word; and how the mud stained by Shanyin's monk's pants is unique to the abbot's courtyard, and there is no one Powerful statement.But at this moment, she didn't intend to continue talking.She had known for a long time that this case might serve politics, and if she was really asked to speak out against the wind and tell the truth, Shen Sui would not do it.She is not one of those silly and naive Confucian scholars who claim to be upright and upright.She knew that the truth was never important to saints and court officials, what mattered was what they were willing to believe and what they wanted the common people to believe.

Shen Sui clearly realized that her identity was not just a case solver, she was also an official, a low-level official who couldn't escape the vortex of officialdom.The investigators only care about finding the truth, but officials must consider the political impact of the truth. As herself, she needs to consider the overall situation in the future.Today when Princess Jin came to the scene, Shen Sui seemed to be preparing in a hurry, but in fact, what she said before was the result of her careful consideration last night.The reason why she said this is because she planned to lead Murong Fu to the current direction. This is a situation with many advantages. First, the Princess of Jin and the royal family are good-looking; second, the National Temple itself It's not too negligent; third, the perpetrator commits suicide in fear of crime, and will not implicate innocent people; fourth, Jingzhaofu and herself can solve the case as soon as possible before the new year, so that the saint will not be killed in this year. They didn't live well enough to be demoted.

So who is the murderer?What is the truth?Did Shen Sui just let it go?No!Under the expedient measure, she hides her heart of earnestly pursuing the truth.She believes that the key to solving the case lies in the background check, and with her extremely keen senses, she smells something unusual. The background of the case may be related to some long-forgotten past events that she is very concerned about.These past events cannot be put on the table for the time being, otherwise it will cause great trouble to her. She needs to take the road of secret investigation, so as not to let outsiders see the clues.Therefore, she must divert other people's attention so that she can act conveniently.

It is for this purpose that she deliberately concealed some doubtful points in the narration.

This seminar on the case in the Chamber of Commerce, as she expected, came to an end soon after her narration.Although Princess Jin is currently transferred back to Chang'an, she still leads the position of the commander of the Han Navy. At the same time, the saint also gave her the task of training the imperial army in winter, so she is busy with military affairs, and it is very rare to spare this time.She instructed Murong Fu to handle the matter well, and after praising Shen Sui's wisdom, she took the knife and hurried away with the guards.

Murong Fu also had no intention of keeping guests, and after sending Qin Zhen and Shen Sui out of Jingzhao Mansion, he hurriedly went to make arrangements for what was on his mind.Before leaving, he held Shen Sui's hand and said good things. It was rare to see him speak so generously of praise, and Qin Zhen and Shen Sui also inexplicably felt happy.

But the joy was very short-lived. On the way back for the two of them, Qin Zhen was riding on a horse and asked Shen Sui in a low voice:

"Does Bo Zhao have selfish motives?"

The relationship between Shen Sui and Qin Zhen is not simple. To a certain extent, the two of them have a close relationship and trust each other.This time, Qin Zhen saw an opportunity from the Ci'en case, so he strongly recommended Shen Sui and asked the sage to call her to Beijing.He understood what Shen Sui had arranged so many things for so many years, what was the ultimate goal, and he supported it.In other words, the two are actually of the same party and share the same political goals.In order to achieve this political goal, Shen Sui must enter Chang'an.If she cannot have a legal identity in Chang'an, many things will not be able to unfold, so it is inevitable for her to enter the capital, even if there is no opportunity from heaven this time, she must create an opportunity.

Shen Sui sighed softly when he heard the words, knowing that Qin Zhen had seen her secret thoughts, so he replied:

"I'm really ashamed. Sui did it out of selfishness. This case is very pending. Solving this case is like walking a tightrope. If you don't pay attention to your mistakes and make mistakes, it will lead to bad results. After thinking about it, Sui can only do it first." It’s better to hide this case and we investigate it in private.”

"Is it related to what happened back then..." Qin Zhen didn't say the whole thing, but he had already expressed his meaning very clearly.

Shen Sui nodded silently.

Qin Zhen frowned and said nothing for a long time.The two walked side by side in silence, and when they arrived at the branch of Daozhengfang, Qin Zhencai said:

"Bo Zhao should proceed with caution. The current situation is unclear. I am afraid that something serious may happen in the near future."

"Sui province." Shen Sui replied solemnly.

This time, Murong Fu's work efficiency was frighteningly fast. On December [-]th, Shen Sui had just told him his speculation, and the next day he finished everything, wrote the memorial, and submitted it to the court early in the morning. saint.The sage was very happy after seeing it. Not only did he not have any doubts, but he also praised Murong Fu for his ability to investigate the case.Dali Temple, who assisted in the investigation, did not have any doubts and supported Murong Fu's verdict, which also reassured the saint.Now Murong Fu is asked to write a public notice on the results of the case review, and post it in various squares and city gates to announce to the people.

On the day when the notice was posted, Cong Yun and Cong Yu mingled with the crowd, went to the gate of the square to check it out, and came back to report the results.Murong Fu's petition is as follows: Shan Yin, a monk in charge of Ci'en Temple, was a bandit when he was young. He practiced ape arm magic skills, and he committed countless serious crimes.In order to avoid the enemy's family, he became a monk and worshiped under the abbot Miaopu of Ci'en.However, her character is hard to change, so she provokes orchids in the flower street and willow alley, and the aphrodisiac Jin Zuifang, which is used by Hu Ji Yunyu, is discovered by the abbot.That night, the abbot invited him to question the matter in the Zen room of the abbot's courtyard, and the two had a dispute.In anger, Shanyin stunned the abbot with the wind from his palm, and searched through the meditation room, found the Golden Drunken Workshop, burned it in the indoor brazier, and took the ashes away.He closed the doors and windows when he left, and did not notice that there were still embers of the charcoal fire in the basin.

After the ashes were destroyed, Shanyin regretted it and came to the abbot again to kowtow to apologize.Kneeling in the abbot's courtyard, his trousers were stained with salt grains of mud.However, it was later discovered that the abbot had died of charcoal poisoning, and he was shocked and disappointed.He was convinced that the Yanta Pagoda could wash away his sins, so he resorted to the old skills of the past, climbed to the tenth floor of the Wild Goose Pagoda, and hanged himself.It snowed heavily that night, and the sight of him climbing the wild goose pagoda wearing snow was mistaken for a white ape climbing the pagoda.

Murong Fu also pretentiously gave Shan Yin the name of a wanted criminal who had disappeared for many years to strengthen his credibility.

Shen Sui burst out laughing after hearing this, and said:

"Mr. Murong Mansion is such a wonderful person! This story is made up, even I believe it!"

Cong Yun followed her and laughed, but Cong Yu couldn't, saying:

"Dalang, it's okay for my brother to be heartless. Why are you messing around with me? You asked us, Moyingtang, to investigate Shanyin. It's a fool. Where can we go to investigate? I'm so worried. gone."

Moyingtang is the intelligence department of Shen Sui's organization, and Congyun and Congyu are members of it, and the head of the department is the strong man surnamed Huyan.

Shen Sui almost lost his breath just now, after listening to Congyu's complaint, he slowed down and said:

"Let me show you the way, starting from the team of Ten Thousand Cavalry Army that was dispatched from Chang'an to Luoyang 15 years ago."

Congyun got advice from Congyu and took the order.Shen Jin beside Shen Sui calmly picked up his pen, dipped it in some water, and wrote two words on the table: [Qianlong]

Shen Sui raised his hand to touch Shen Jin's head, and said with a smile, "My piano slave is the smartest."

Shen Jin gave his sister a supercilious look.
