Just when the Garqin Mausoleum was courting relatives in the Western Turks, a fast horse came from the northeast and rushed into the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City, and he did not dismount when he entered the city, because he was a post messenger.

In the afternoon, a messenger from the palace came to Li Hao's mansion to summon him, Li Shimin wanted to see him, Li Hao hurriedly dressed neatly, and immediately went to Taiji Palace to face the saint.

Living in Chang'an City, it is convenient to face the saint, and in less than half an hour, Li Hao arrived at the Ganlu Palace.

After saluting Li Shimin, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Poetry is exempt." As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Xu Lian beside him, and asked Xu Lian to hand it to Li Hao.

Li Hao took the fold with a puzzled face, and found that it was sent by the governor of Youzhou, Hebei, and opened it, Li Hao suddenly frowned, there was a shocking bloody case in Youzhou, there were two merchants surnamed Hu and Zhao, overnight, everyone in the family collectively hanged themselves at home, a total of 78 people, one was left, there was no trace of fighting at home, the case was full of suspicions, Sun Bowang, the governor of Youzhou, asked Li Shimin to send Dali Temple criminal investigation masters to assist in the investigation of the case, after all, this case is too big, and there are too many doubts.

Sun Bowang also pointed out in the compromise, they have not found much clue at present, the only clue found is that these two merchants have a lot of business in Chang'an, but in the past month, because of the commercial tax levied in Guanzhong, these two merchants are very dissatisfied, went to Chang'an for a while, and scolded Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, saying that Li Hao wanted to force them to a dead end, but they made no effect, and were soon stopped by the government, so they were forcibly repatriated home, and the two merchants returned home only three days, and the whole family was collectively hanged at home.

Although Sun Bowang did not say it directly, the meaning was already obvious, the death of these two merchants was related to the new tax system, and it was very likely to offend people who should not be offended, and the spearhead was pointed at Li Hao.

"Poet madness, what do you think about this?" Li Shimin saw that Li Hao had finished reading the recital, and looked at Li Hao expectantly.

Li Hao frowned and sighed loudly: "Your Majesty, this is someone who wants to fight back against the collection of commercial taxes and wants to pour dirty water on the ministers. ”

"I can see it, too." Li Shimin nodded.

Li Hao's eyes showed a cold light, and he said slowly: "It's just that these two merchants have been wronged because of this, which shows how ruthless and unscrupulous the people who act are, Your Majesty, we have to guard against it." ”

"I know." Li Shimin said, "I will send Dali Temple to Youzhou tomorrow to investigate this case, and I will find out the real culprit behind the scenes. ”

Li Hao was moved when he heard this, since the last rescue, Li Shimin has obviously introduced himself as a confidant minister, and now he has specially reminded him, it is really rare, so Li Hao said: "Your Majesty, the minister is idle anyway, it is better to let the minister go to Youzhou and investigate the case with Dali Temple, maybe he can catch the big mouse." ”

Li Shimin was slightly surprised when he heard this: "You will still investigate the case?" ”

Li Hao smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, the minister is an omnipotent minister, investigate the case...... There are also some dabbles. ”

"Oh?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in surprise, "Since this is the case, then I will let you go to Youzhou, you will always be a complete success in doing things, and I believe that this time will not disappoint me." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

Li Shimin said happily: "I will appoint you as the deposed envoy of Hebei Province, and go to Youzhou to investigate and deal with the bloody case of Youzhou merchants. ”

Li Hao was shocked when he heard this, he just investigated the case, and actually wanted to give himself the golden fish talisman, is this too big.

Li Shimin saw his surprised look, and said indifferently: "The new tax system is a national policy, I will not allow anyone to destroy it, this golden fish talisman is for you to save your life, have you forgotten, the last time you went to Hebei, you died nine times, and you almost couldn't come back." ”

Li Hao nodded when he heard this, indeed, Li Shimin is reasonable, although it is only a homicide case, but killing 78 people overnight is not something that ordinary people can do, it is estimated that some big forces will be involved, if Li Hao does not have enough people, I am afraid that he will not be able to control the scene.

At this time, Li Shimin said again: "Youzhou...... It's the fiefdom of the blue finch, and when you go there, go and see the green finch on my behalf. ”

Li Hao was embarrassed when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei is ...... I'm afraid I don't want to see the ministers. ”

Li Shimin raised his head and sighed when he heard this, it is true that Li Tai and Li Hao do not deal with each other, and Li Tai has become more and more irritable and irritable since he went to Youzhou.

"That's it, that's it." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You go there to concentrate on investigating the case, tomorrow morning, you go to Dali Temple to find Sun Fujia, I will arrange it for you, remember, bring more entourage, it doesn't matter if the case can't be found, safety first, you go completely, and you must come back completely." ”

Li Hao was moved again when he heard this, Li Shimin really cared more and more about himself, and nodded vigorously: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Early the next morning, Li Hao set off with more than 50 special forces and went to Dali Temple to see Sun Fujia, who had not seen him for many years, Sun Fujia was much older, and his sideburns and hair were white.

The two met, quite embarrassed, still remember the first time they met, Li Hao was in prison in Dali Temple, at that time Li Hao was very naughty, the official position is not high, the title is not high, but often cause trouble, is a frequent visitor to the prison of Dali Temple, until now, Sun Fujia also specially kept the luxurious cell dedicated to Li Hao, rarely detained prisoners.

And now, Li Hao has been knighted as the king of the county, and the official is the crown prince, and when Sun Fujia sees him, he has to bow down and bow to him, after all, he is just a Dali temple.

Sun Fujiali was only halfway through, Li Hao stepped forward to hold his hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Sun, everyone is an acquaintance, so don't see each other like this." ”

Sun Fujia smiled indifferently and said, "Lord Li is still like this...... Have a temperament. ”

"Where, where." Li Hao waved his hand and smiled, "I haven't seen you for many years, I should have talked to you about the past, but I am on official business, it is really inconvenient, I am still in a hurry to go to Youzhou, Lord Sun, I received the emperor's instructions." ”

"Roger." Sun Fujia said, "Lord Li, please wait a moment. ”

After he finished speaking, he whispered a few words to the person beside him, and the man took the order away, and it didn't take long for him to see a group of people walking out of the back courtyard, roughly counting, thirteen.

After the thirteen people lined up in front of Li Hao, Sun Fujia introduced: "Lord Li, this is the master of our Dali Temple who is the best at criminal investigation and case handling, and I will go to Youzhou with you to investigate the bloody case by the emperor's holy order, and Lord Li can dispatch them at will at will." ”

"Hmm." Li Hao nodded and looked at it, only to see that most of the thirteen people were in their thirties and forties, they looked like they were very experienced, and all of them were not low in martial arts, almost all of them were at the level of second-rate masters, but there was a young man who was very eye-catching, and this young man was too young, and he looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

Li Hao knows that the criminal investigation industry requires extremely rich experience, and the requirements are higher in Dali Temple, and he must also be proficient in martial arts and various weapons, as well as many miscellaneous assessments, this young man is only eighteen or nineteen years old, how could he enter this elite criminal investigation team, Li Hao was quite suspicious, so he walked up to the young man and asked: "What is your name, what is your official position?" ”

The young man bowed to Li Hao, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Xiaguan Dali Temple Cheng Di Renjie." ”

"You are Di Renjie!" Li Hao glared and exclaimed when he heard this, and almost jumped up.
