Chapter 0065 Concealed Cloth
Di Yan was overjoyed and ran out like a gust of wind. At this time, Di Renjie seemed to have thought of something, the name "Li Zhen!" seemed a bit familiar, and he started rummaging through the file under the table.
Soon, Di Yan led Li Zhen to his father's study.
Although Li Zhen had met the governor Li Wuqing in Dunhuang, it was the first time he met the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, especially the famous prime minister Di Renjie. He was a little nervous and stepped forward and bowed and bowed, "Student Li Zhen met Prime Minister Di!"
Di Renjie was reading a memorial. He looked at Li Zhen and asked, "Are you the Dunhuang righteous man Li Zhen?"
Li Zhen was stunned and didn't understand why Di Renjie said that.
Di Renjie opened a scroll and said to him: "I have a Dunhuang battle report written by Zhang Ting, a commander of the Doulu Army in Shazhou. It mentioned that Dunhuang righteous man Li Zhen was ordered to break through the siege and report the news to resolve the danger of Dunhuang. Isn't this righteous man Li Zhen you?"
Li Zhen's face felt a little hot, but he didn't expect that the incident would actually reach Chang'an. He hurriedly said, "It's the student!"
Di Renjie nodded. He was not a traitor at first. This courage and blood are worthy of admiration. His impression of Li Zhen has changed slightly.
Di Yan next to her was secretly glad that she knew her father. Her father admired the kind of warrior who could stand up for the country and the people the most. It turned out that Li Zhen had this experience and that would be easier to deal with.
Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said, "Wu Shun has a great official. If he is assassinated, the file will definitely be reported to Dali Temple. The case will be finalized after the Dali Temple is reviewed. Now Chang'an arrest is only to arrest the suspects. Frankly speaking, their current practice is a bit of a violation."
Li Zhen was overjoyed and asked quickly: "What the Prime Minister means is that the student has not been decided?"
Di Renjie nodded and said, "This month is my ruling office. I should have seen the case report from Dali Temple, but I didn't see it, which means that the case is still in Chang'an and may still be collecting evidence. This is normal."
Di Renjie knew in his heart that if the suspect was not caught, it would usually take a month or two to report it. He had been in Dali Temple and knew that things were not that simple.
Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, Gao Yanfu didn't even have to tell Wu Chengsi. Maybe as long as he said hello to Chang'an, the case would be left unresolved.
Di Renjie said again: "Although Yan'er said you were framed, if the Chang'an government can provide conclusive evidence, the result may not be optimistic. I hope you are mentally prepared!"
Li Zhen nodded silently, and Di Yan next to him said anxiously: "It's obviously a stolen cart, so what kind of evidence can it be? The evidence is also fake. Dad, you can't stand by and watch..."
Before Di Yan finished speaking, Li Zhen immediately stopped and said, "Miss Yan, please stop talking. I'm here to just ask about the situation."
Seeing that Li Zhen was very sensible, Di Renjie felt a little disgusted, so he slowly said: "The laws of the Tang Dynasty have their own measures, and foreign officials are not allowed to interfere. However, if the case is reported to me, I can ask Dali Temple to carefully examine the case. In short, I will give you justice."
"Thank you, the good intentions of the Prime Minister Di. The students will not disturb you, so I will say goodbye!"
Di Renjie took out a pen from the pen holder and handed it to him and smiled: "I met for the first time, I'll give this pen to you!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
Li Zhen took the pen, bowed, and slowly retreated. Di Yan glanced at his father and hurriedly chased him out.
Di Renjie slowly walked to the window and looked at Li Zhen leaving the yard with his hands behind his back. He sighed slightly in his heart, "How could a good young man be involved in the darkest struggle of the court?"
"Brother Li!"
Di Yan chased after him from behind, Li Zhen stopped and smiled: "I thought you were going to talk to your father."
"I'll send you there."
Di Yan walked side by side with him and asked, "Have you gained something today?"
"Of course I have gained something. At least I know that I am still innocent and have not been convicted. There is no bad record in the official records."
"Yes! Daddy also said that Chang'an was inappropriate. Brother Li, my father has a good impression of you."
"How do you know?"
"Of course I know that my father rarely gives you paper and pens. Last year, a group of scholars from his hometown came to visit him, but he never gave him any. If he could give you a pen, it means that he recognized your character."
"It's really not easy to win the praise of your father."
"Brother Li, are you going to find Gao Fujun now?"
Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "I will find an inn with Jiuzhi first, settle down, and I will go to Gao Fujun."
"Then where will I find you?"
Li Zhen took out a note and handed it to her, "This is a shop in Nanshi City, Luoyang. It is owned by my fellow villagers. My eldest sister also left me a letter there. I will leave you an address in the store and you can find me."
It was originally said that Li Zhen would stay and be a personal bodyguard for Di Renjie, but the case of Wu Shun's murder was not closed. Li Zhen was still suspected, so his father would never use him.
Di Yan knew very well, not to mention that Li Zhen did not formally agree. She could not help Li Zhen, so she had to send Li Zhen and Jiu Zhi out of the house and returned in a bad mood.
...........
At the same time Di Renjie met Li Zhen, in the Wei Palace in Jishanfang, King Wu Chengsi of Wei was also meeting subordinates from Chang'an.
"The humble official Lan Zhenyu participated in His Highness the King of Wei!"
Lan Zhenyu knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully. He had just arrived in Luoyang today. Before that, the relics had been delivered to Luoyang first.
But because Wu Chengsi wanted to further understand the details of Wu Shun's killing, Lan Zhenyu rushed from Tongguan to Luoyang.
Wu Chengsi sat on an ivory bed, squinted his eyes and looked at the relic letter in his hand. Today, he went to Guanghua Temple in Luoyang to invite a Tocharian monk to identify the relic.
Although the copper box was not able to be opened, the Tochar monk said with certainty that this was the Maitrene relics.
Seeing that my aunt's birthday was approaching, if she could present this relic to the emperor's aunt, her aunt would be overjoyed, and maybe there would be a new statement about the position of crown prince that she had always dreamed of.
Wu Chengsi put down the relics and asked him, "Some people say that this relics were obtained from Wang Yuanbao. Is there any such thing?"
In his letter to Wu Chengsi, Wu Shun concealed that the relic was obtained from Wang Yuanbao, but said that Lan Zhenyu got it from Tocharo.
Although Lan Zhenyu is also Xue Huaiyi's person, he has a low status around Xue Huaiyi. After Wang Daoyuan was killed, he did not dare to see Xue Huaiyi, so he could only hold Wu Chengsi's thigh desperately.
Lan Zhenyu thought to himself, 'This matter can only be wrong and take the credit to him.'
"Report to Your Highness, this relic was indeed brought back from Tochar, and I will never dare to deceive Your Highness."
"Hmph! If I find out the truth, I will let you know the consequences of deceiving!"
Lan Zhenyu felt scared, but he had already said it and could not take it back, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Everything that Bei Zhi said is true."
Wu Chengsi looked at him for a while and stopped asking about this. The topic turned to Wu Shun, "How did Wu Shun die? There are many statements now, and I am confused."
"Report to Your Highness, Mr. Shun is indeed dead strangely. Before, the relics were robbed by Duke Liang, but fell into the hands of Li Zhen, a native of Duke of Dunhuang. Bei Yi captured his brother and forced him to return the relics to exchange. At the time of exchange, Mr. Shun was shot to death by a poisonous arrow.
It was night and it was quite chaotic. It was really unclear who shot the arrow, but Li Zhen was the most suspicious. It was very likely that he sent someone to ambush the roof and wanted to take the relics while they were incompetent. He only snatched the relics back, but he escaped."
Wu Chengsi heard him mention Duke Liang, that was Xue Huaiyi, which was also something he was worried about, but no matter how worried he was, if he was asked to hand over the relics to Xue Huaiyi, it would be impossible. He pondered for a while and asked, "Who is this Li Zhen, a royal family?"
"No! This person is not old, but a commoner's child in Dunhuang County was involved in the relic."
Wu Chengsi's face became gloomy and he snorted coldly, "Can a civilian not take the King of Wei seriously?"
"Your Highness, he may have arrived in Luoyang."
"Then kill him and bring someone to see me!" Wu Chengsi said without hesitation.
"As for the order!"
At this time, Wu Chengsi saw his aide, Mr. Ming, standing at the door, and seemed to have something to say, so he said to Lan Zhenyu: "You are not good at protecting Wushun. I should have punished you severely, but for the sake of the relics, I will spare you this time. If I find that you dare to deceive me, I will make it good-looking!"
Lan Zhenyu's heart trembled. Many people knew the relationship between Li Zhen and Sali. As long as Wu Chengsi sent someone to investigate, he would know the truth. Will he let him go at that time?
He was afraid, but he did not dare to reveal it, "I'm leaving!"
Lan Zhenyu slowly retreated, and then Wu Chengsi asked Mr. Ming with a smile: "What's wrong with sir?"
Mr. Ming is a scholar in his thirties, from Wannian County, Jingzhao. He has a dark and thin face and looks weak. However, he is very smart and is recommended to Wu Chengsi.
Wu Chengsi also knew that he was not capable enough, so he paid special attention to collecting talents. For example, his eight fakes were all over the country, and Mr. Ming, who was regarded as a military advisor, followed his advice.
Mr. Ming slowly walked forward and said, "The news came from Liangzhou that the matter had succeeded."
Wu Chengsi was overjoyed and gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Ming deserves to have Kong Ming's plan, and this matter is indeed arranged ingeniously."
Mr. Ming smiled slightly, "This is also your highness's ability. Otherwise, why would the emperor ask him for the Ouyang Xun post? I infer that he will send the Diamond Sutra to the palace in the past two days, and your highness needs to let the palace cooperate."
"I know it in my heart!"
Wu Chengsi was extremely proud and said to himself coldly: "I will stop Wu Chengsi from taking over the throne, so I want to see what the outcome will be for him?"
