Chapter 641: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (II)
The early dynasty dispersed, Wang Chenghuan, the Chinese scholar, had been frowning, and hurriedly got on the sedan chair after leaving the imperial city, urging the sedan chair driver to hurry back, and when he was on the way, he also poked his head out of the sedan window, and urged the sedan chair drivers to speed up again.
Finally arrived at the door of the house, Wang Chenghuan hurriedly got off the sedan chair, trotted all the way into the house, and after entering the courtyard, he ran to the study in a hurry, and shouted to the housekeeper while running: "Wang An, go and prepare the carrier pigeon, my lord, I want to fly the pigeon and pass the book and the state." ”
"Yes!" When the housekeeper saw that he looked in a hurry, he thought that something big must have happened, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurried to prepare the carrier pigeons.
There is a large poplar forest in the northeast of Chang'an City, which is seventeen or eighteen miles away from Chang'an, and in front of the poplar forest, there is a large wasteland, and the wasteland is full of waist-high weeds.
However, at this moment, there is a large area of weeds in the wasteland that has been cleaned up, and it seems that it has been pressed with a stone mill to make a grain field for drying rice, and there is no one living in a radius of more than ten miles, and it is very abnormal for such a grain field to appear, and this grain field seems to be fresh, and even the grass ash on it is very new.
In the center of the grain field, sprinkled more than a dozen stalls of rice and corn, each stall of rice is not much, only half a catty, however, if you look closely, you will find that each stall of rice is placed on a circle made of thin rope, experienced people can recognize at a glance, this is a trap for catching birds, the word trap is estimated to come from this.
There are more than a dozen ropes in more than a dozen stalls of grain, and these ropes for catching birds extend into the woods more than twenty meters away, behind a row of tall grass in the woods, there are many Dali Temple catchers, staring at the grain field without blinking, while Di Renjie is staring at the sky in the direction of Chang'an, each of them holding a bow and arrow in his hand.
This group of catchers was very patient, waiting from morning to almost noon, motionless, not even daring to speak, finally, Di Renjie whispered in surprise: "Ready, the pigeon is coming, if this pigeon does not eat, it will be shot directly." ”
"Yes!" The crowd whispered.
The white carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew in, it seemed to see the grain on the grain field, which was a great temptation for the pigeon, although it only flew for more than ten miles, but the birds died for food, most of the birds and animals were greedy, and they wanted to eat when they saw the food, unless they were already full.
The pigeon landed on the grain field, flapped its wings, and then jumped to the side of a stall of rice and began to peck at it.
Di Renjie looked at it carefully for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It's Tan Jun's line, Tan Jun, close the line!" ”
A young catcher with a pimple face hurriedly pulled the rope violently when he heard this, and the string snares immediately began to shrink rapidly, and the pigeon's legs were lassoed at once, and both legs were lassoed, and the pigeon flapped its wings and struggled, but it was useless, and the more the rope was struggling, the tighter it became.
Di Renjie was overjoyed when he saw this, quickly rushed out of the woods, came to the grain field, stepped forward to grab the pigeon, looked at the pigeon's leg, and sure enough, there was a reed pipe tied to the pigeon's leg, and the two ends were sealed with beeswax.
At this time, other catchers had already arrived, and there was a person who was carrying a pigeon cage in his hand, and the catcher who was carrying a pigeon cage looked at Di Renjie with adoring eyes and said, "Lord Shaoqing, are you the reincarnation of a fairy?" How do you know that there will be carrier pigeons? ”
"Guess." Di Renjie was a little proud at the moment, he was really qualified to be proud, why, because after he learned that Chang Fu was from Bingzhou, he came up with a clever trick, called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
How to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, first of all, he speculated that the possibility that Li Hao was the murderer was extremely low, and someone must be trying to frame Li Hao, since it was to frame Li Hao, then nine times out of ten it was a person in the court, he deliberately told Sun Fujia that he would go to Bingzhou today to check the details of Changfu, and he also knew that Sun Fujia would definitely report these to Li Shimin.
Then the person who framed Li Hao will naturally hear the news in the palace, and he will inevitably be frightened, and he will definitely send a letter to Bingzhou after the dispersal of the dynasty, and it is not very reliable to send a fast horse to send a letter, because it is not necessarily as fast as their Dali Temple, so the only thing left may be to pass the book on the pigeon.
The pigeon flight is not restricted by the road, it is generally a direct flight, and where they are now is in the straight line of Chang'an and Bingzhou, cleaning the grain field, sprinkling rice, in order to attract the carrier pigeon to fall and eat, so that it can be captured alive, this carrier pigeon, he is useful, but if the carrier pigeon is not attracted by the rice, then he can only shoot the carrier pigeon down with crossbow arrows.
Now that the carrier pigeon has been captured alive, everything is exactly as he expected, can Di Renjie not be happy and proud.
Di Renjie untied the reed pipe on the pigeon's leg, stuffed the pigeon into the pigeon cage, and then opened the reed tube, took out the paper inside, the paper was rolled into a small paper roll, and it was two inches long and half an inch wide. ”
After the other people caught Kuai and Dali Temple Cheng saw the content of the note, they were quite disappointed, because there was no signature or title on it, and they didn't know who wrote it or who it was passed on.
Di Renjie raised the corners of his mouth lightly, showing a happy smile, he was not an ordinary person, he got very important information from the content of this note.
First of all, that Chang Fu is not called Chang Fu at all, but the surname is Chen, called Chen Fu, this information is very important, if you want to check people, even the name is wrong, how to check?
Secondly, from the handwriting, the words on this note are very small, but the handwriting is very clear, however, the words are a little ugly.
Speaking of ugly characters, the ugliest character in the DPRK and China is of course Li Hao, but Di Renjie can be sure that this is not Li Hao's handwriting, because Li Hao's words are uglier than this, he can be sure that these two lines of words are written with the left hand, why write with the left hand, the purpose is to deliberately hide his handwriting, and it is not bad to be able to write the words with the left hand to this extent.
Di Renjie has been reading the file for many years and has a deep study of handwriting, because the person who wrote this note may have practiced with his left hand, so he can deduce his right handwriting from the handwriting of his left hand.
Di Renjie's mind seemed to have countless files in quick flipping, his brain was like a computer, there was a lot of data in it, and soon, among the handwriting of the right hand deduced from the handwriting of the left hand, there were sixteen people who met the requirements, and the range was still a bit large.
But you can add conditions and then screen, assassinate the envoy of Nanzhao, and blame King Qiongnan, this is not a trivial matter, and it is definitely not something that ordinary forces dare to do, it can be seen that it must be a big force, and who is the biggest force in Bingzhou, there is only one answer, Taiyuan Wang.
Taiyuan is the dragon land of Gaozu Li Yuan, and the Taiyuan Wang family is the first among all the family gate valves to support Li Yuan, because they are the first, so they are extremely trusted by the old Li family, Li Shimin has beaten the door valve family many times, but he has never touched a single hair of the Wang family, even! The crown princess of the crown prince Li Zhi is the daughter of the Wang family, the crown princess, that is the future queen, it can be seen that Li Shimin attaches great importance to the Wang family.
But right now, the Wang family seems to be in trouble, Di Renjie can almost be sure that the real culprit behind the case of Taibai Lou's poisoning of the Nanzhao envoy is the Taiyuan Wang family, because he has other evidence, and he has found the person who wrote the note in his heart, and this person is Wang Chenghuan, the Chinese scholar.
Because Di Renjie screened out the sixteen people from the handwriting, only Wang Chenghuan is a member of the Taiyuan Wang family, and Wang Chenghuan fell down once in the winter three years ago, his arm hit the stone steps, his bone was broken, and he recuperated for nearly three months.
The person who wrote the letter and the real culprit behind the scenes have been determined, and then things will be easy to do, Di Renjie was in a good mood, and took two hundred catchers to lead the horse in the woods, and galloped away in the direction of Bingzhou.
