Chapter 0094 The ghost is not scattered
The items placed on the iron frame were suddenly a bronze relic box, exactly the same as the relic set he had handed to Wu Shun.
"We took up this copper box from the pool and found out after we found someone to identify it. I heard you say last time that you have something to do with this one, so I found you."
Li Zhen's mind was blank. He didn't pay attention to what Sun Li was talking about? The appearance of this relic stick shocked him.
He slowly picked up the copper trunk and looked at it carefully. Yes, regardless of appearance, weight, and the pattern on the copper box were exactly the same.
He gently rubbed the pattern on the copper box in the middle. Although it was a little blurred, he still vaguely recognized that Maitreya Bodhisattva was holding a bowl in his hand.
In other words, this is also a shadow relic. Li Zhen closed his eyes and recalled what Wang Yuanbao had told him.
‘There are three relic boxes in total, two relics, one real relic, and the condom containing the relic was obtained by himself, while the two relics condoms were obtained by Wang Yuanbao, and the other should be taken away by King Ah Suang.’
Li Zhen's hand couldn't help but tremble. This shadow relic should be in Tochar thousands of miles away, but it now appears in a small pool in Luoyang. What kind of secret is hidden here?
"Brother Li, Mr. Li, are you okay?"
Seeing that his expression was strange, Sun Li whispered to remind him. Li Zhen gradually regained his rationality from the trance. He put the relic box back into the iron frame and sighed softly, "It's so terrifying!"
"Is the relic letter you told me last time the only one is it?" Sun Li asked again.
Li Zhen nodded, but then shook his head, "I can't explain clearly. The relic stool that has something to do with me has been taken apart in the palace. This is another one, but it really has something to do with me."
"Then what kind of clue can Mr. Li give me?"
This is what Sun Li is concerned about. This case is too great, which not only puts great pressure on him, but also affects his future. If he can solve this case, he is likely to restore his official position. Sun Li looked at Li Zhen with anticipation.
"I'm very confused now and want to sort out my thoughts clearly. Brother Sun will give me some time."
Sun Li nodded and handed the copper letter to Li Zhen again, "This case is my supervisor, I can make the decision. I will lend this certificate to you temporarily and I will return it to me after you think it through."
The two walked out of the small warehouse, and Li Zhen asked again: "How long does Brother Sun have given this case?"
"Three months, the superiors asked me to solve this case within three months. If I can't solve this case, I'm afraid I will have to go back to be a guard again."
Li Zhen nodded silently. Since Sun Li had already spoken to him, no matter whether this matter had anything to do with him or not, he would do his best to help Sun Li and give him a favor.
.........
Returning to the carriage in Nanshi, Li Zhen gently stroked the copper trunk in his hand. The copper trunk should be in King Ah Suang's hand, but now it appears in Luoyang, which confirms his previous inference that King Ah Suang actually has a close relationship with the Central Plains.
This copper relic is like a mirror, illuminating an indissoluble knot deep in his heart, making him unable to avoid it.
‘Who shot Wushun?’
This is an unsolved mystery in the relics case. He thought the relics case had ended, so this mystery was no longer important and he could forget it.
But unexpectedly, it appeared in front of him again inadvertently, which reminded Li Zhen of what Gao Yanfu said.
‘That’s how the struggle in the court is, sometimes you feel like things are over, maybe it’s just beginning…’
Li Zhen leaned weakly against the wall of the car. He felt that this copper relic was like the sandstorm he encountered on his way to Gaochang. It was a kind of fate in the dark, destined to be unable to escape.
But this matter is confusing, where should he start?
...........
Li Zhen spent three days in a row in chaos. Except for a chance trip downstairs, he lay in the small attic, ate and ate after waking up, and then ate when he woke up. Li Quan was busy with business and didn't care about him.
The copper relic was hung on top of his head and could see it as soon as he opened his eyes. Sometimes he really hoped that the heavy copper box would fall down and smash him to wake him up.
In the past three days, he carefully sorted out all the things that happened and found some clues, but he didn't know where to start. It was like writing an article, how should I finish the beginning?
"Young Master!" This is the guy A Cai calling him downstairs.
"What's the matter?" Li Zhen agreed in a daze.
"Miss Di is here!"
Acai's words were like a thunderclap, which suddenly made Li Zhen miss it. Which girl Di? Didn't Di Yan go to Pengze, his mind has turned into a mud, and he can't react to many things.
"Hey! You can't get down?"
Di Yan's shout came from downstairs. It was true that Di Yan was back. Li Zhen was ecstatic and suddenly sat up, but his head just hit the copper trunk in the air. The pain made his eyes look like stars and he lay down heavily.
After a while, he rushed down from the upstairs with his forehead covering his head. At first glance, he saw Di Yan in men's clothing, wearing a black hat, a blue shirt, a leather strap, and a long sword on his back. He looked at him with an unhappy face.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why are you slowing down?"
At this time, Di Yan noticed his abnormality and stepped forward to look at him, "What's wrong with your forehead? It's a red and swollen."
Li Zhen said embarrassedly: "I just got up too fast and I got hit my head a little bit, but it still hurts."
Di Yan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled, and then held back her smile and said, "I understand. You haven't woken up yet, and I've clamored."
Li Zhen looked at the sky. It turned out that it was still early in the morning. He was confused these two days and didn't even know the time.
"Wait a minute!"
Li Zhen suddenly thought of something, as if a sign had just emerged from the door and he was about to grab it. He waved his hand and told Di Yan not to interrupt his thoughts.
Di Yan stomped her feet in anger, "What's going on with you? Are you confused by being knocked down?
Acai next to him smiled and said, "Miss Di, the young master hasn't gone downstairs for three days. He has been holding a copper box all day long and is in a daze. He probably hasn't woken up yet."
"What copper box? Show me!" Di Yan asked curiously.
Li Zhen suddenly remembered that Di Yan was the key clue. He gave up this clue because Di Yan went to Pengze before. Now Di Yan is back, which makes him find the key to open the mystery door.
"You wait for me!"
Li Zhen turned around and ran to the attic, pulled off the copper sash that was hanging in the air, jumped out of the store step by step, and handed the relic to Di Yan, "Look at this."
Di Yan took the copper box and couldn't help but be stunned, "Why did you get another one?"
"This matter is a long story. Come and sit in it. Let me tell you what's going on?"
Li Zhen took Di Yan to the inner room and sat down. Acai brought them two cups of hot water. Di Yan took a sip of water and glanced at him and said, "Why don't you ask me why I'm back?"
Li Zhen then reacted and scratched his head and said, "I've been confused all day. I just heard you coming, and I was so happy that I was crazy, but when I saw you, I forgot to ask you, Alas!"
Di Yan's pretty face turned slightly red, she lowered her head and whispered: "Are you so happy when I'm back?"
Li Zhen nodded with a smile, "Of course I'm happy! But why are you... back again? Are you okay?"
"My father is very good in Pengze. Pengze is simple and simple. When I heard that my father came, tens of thousands of people came outside the county town to greet him. I almost carried my father into the county government. The food and accommodation were arranged very carefully. As for me... my father asked me to come back to take care of my mother."
Di Yan's face was hot. Her excuse was really not smart. Both of her brothers were in the capital, so she needed to take care of her mother.
She quickly changed the subject, "Tell me about this relic box, how could it be in your hands?"
Li Zhen has been working hard for this relic copper box for several days, and I don’t know where to start. Today, Di Yan’s return gave him a glimmer of hope.
Li Zhen asked anxiously: "I remember you told me that you were the one who shot Wu Shun at the beginning, right?"
Di Yan's expression became a little unnatural. She didn't want to mention this matter again. She hesitated for a moment. She asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, does the relic box have anything to do with this matter?"
Li Zhen nodded, then told Sun Li's case, and finally said: "The major forces that competed for relics so far, so far, I know that there are Li Dan, Wu Chengsi, and Xue Huaiyi, but there is also a mysterious force. I still don't know who it is, the person behind you. I have always suspected that King Ah-Shang is loyal to this person, and he is probably related to this relic box."
When Di Yan heard Li Zhen’s words make sense, she also eliminated her concerns. After thinking about it, she said, “To be honest, I don’t know who this person is. I just dealt with a woman. She asked me to call her Aluo Gu, who was about forty years old, and in the end she wanted to kill me to silence me.”
"It seems that she is also a little person, I don't know that you are Di Xiang's daughter."
"It should be! But I don't know the others."
Li Zhen pondered for a moment and asked, "Where were you in Chang'an at that time? You should remember the place!"
Di Yan sighed, "These people don't believe me at all. The first time they went to their nest was when they were sitting in a carriage covered with black cloth. They didn't know where they went? They only knew it was a manor. Later, they contacted him, in Zizhu Temple outside the East City of Xianyang. As a result, they chased me. I jumped into the Wei River and escaped my life."
Li Zhen felt a headache. Di Yan still had too few clues here. There are hundreds of manors of all sizes near Chang'an City. How can he find them?
Moreover, the various forces in the Tang Dynasty were complicated, and it might be Wu Sansi, Princess Taiping, or the powerful ministers like Wei Tuaner, or Li Dezhao.
It may even be that the Guanlong noble forces, such as the Changsun family, the Dugu family, the Dou family, etc., could not be found.
Chang'an was originally a place where dragons and tigers were hidden, with so many and complex forces that it was no less than Luoyang. Although the capital of the Tang Dynasty moved to Luoyang, it still had a close relationship with Chang'an.
So which force will the person who killed Wu Shun be?
