Chapter 640: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (I)
Next, Di Renjie sent all the painters in the Dali Temple to the morgue to paint the portrait of Chang Fu, and asked them to draw 500 portraits before sunset tomorrow.
Li Hao has already taught the sketching skills to Dali Temple, sketching is quite popular in Dali Temple, which in ancient times when there were no photos, looking for people and chasing murderers or something all relied on it.
Then he sent people to Luoyang on a fast horse overnight with the portrait, and asked them to inquire about the major restaurants, because Di Renjie suspected that this Chang Fu should go to Luoyang to be a cook, although Luoyang is big, but there are so many restaurants, twenty or thirty Dali Temples can ask one by one, and they can be asked in one day.
Because he was too busy to sleep too late, Di Renjie wanted to be lazy to bed the next day, but as soon as it was dawn, there was a noise in the yard, Di Renjie was woken up, and he vaguely heard a few sounds of catching fast, as well as a woman's voice.
"How can there be a woman in Dali Temple?" Di Renjie rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up, wondering to himself, suddenly, he patted his head and remembered that it was Sheng Guolan, the girl from Nanzhao.
Di Renjie hurriedly put on his clothes, shoes and socks, opened the door and walked out of the room, only to see a group of people in the courtyard fighting, Sheng Guolan dealt with the three catchers alone, obviously a little difficult, the three catchers did not dare to be ruthless to her, because Sheng Guolan is a woman, and she is also the daughter of King Nanzhao, if she is injured, it is not a trivial matter.
"Stop!" Di Renjie let out a deep sigh and walked over quickly.
When they heard the sound, they hurriedly stopped, and Di Renjie walked up to them, frowned and asked, "Why are you fighting here?" ”
One of them replied loudly: "Lord Hui Shaoqing, the princess of Nanzhao wants to see you, and the lowly people know that the adults have only slept for less than two hours, and they are afraid that she will disturb your rest, so they are to stop you, who knows that Princess Nanzhao will not listen to the persuasion, so they will start with us." ”
Di Renjie turned his head to face Sheng Guolan, and bowed his hand: "It turns out that you are actually the princess of Nanzhao, and Di Renjie, the young secretary of Dali Temple, is polite." ”
"What Princess Nanzhao!" Sheng Guolan waved his hand angrily and said, "Di Renjie, let me ask you, I heard the arresters say that you are the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, aren't you?" ”
Di Renjie was a little embarrassed, if he admitted it, he seemed to be very stinky and shameless. Don't admit it, isn't this a lie, is there anyone more powerful than this one......
"I asked you if it was!" Sheng Guolan asked loudly in a hurry.
Di Renjie could only reply very implicitly: "Di has investigated the case so far, and he has not met anyone who is more proficient in this way than Di, but there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains......"
As soon as he wanted to be modest, Sheng Guolan interrupted him and said, "Okay, then tell me, who poisoned my brother, is it from Taibai Mansion?" ”
Di Renjie was stunned when he heard this, looking at her fierce eyes and tone, it was clear that she wanted revenge, Di Renjie hesitated, shook his head and said: "There are many strange things in this case, and after Di finds out, I will give the princess an answer." ”
"Isn't it someone from Taibai Mansion?" Sheng Guolan was like a tendon, staring at Di Renjie deadly.
Di Renjie is helpless, if she doesn't help Taibai Lou get rid of the relationship, this little girl is only afraid that she will burn Taibai Lou, if she learns that the boss of Taibai Lou is Li Hao, maybe she will go to Li Hao's palace to order, and it will not end well, Li Hao, Di Renjie still understands something, although he is very impulsive, and a little funny, but if he is angry, the other party generally has no chance to kneel down and apologize.
So Di Renjie could only say seriously: "Judging from the current evidence, the murderer who poisoned him is not from Guanzhong, and it has little to do with Taibai Lou, so I will set off tonight to find out the murderer's hometown to find out the murderer's information." ”
Sheng Guolan hurriedly said: "I'll go with you!" ”
Di Renjie frowned and shook his head when he heard this: "How can this be done, I am going to investigate the case......"
Di Renjie suddenly stopped in the middle of his words, because he saw Sheng Guolan take out a knife out of nowhere, rest it next to her own neck, and said loudly: "You don't take me there!" I'll kill myself! ”
Di Renjie didn't expect her temperament to be so strong, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Put down the knife quickly, it's too dangerous." ”
"Take me!" Sheng Guolan's tone was very tough, originally she was just a lively and cheerful happy girl, but after experiencing such drastic changes alone, he had to become strong.
"Princess, why do you have to be so ......" Di Renjie just wanted to persuade, but saw that Sheng Guolan had already cut her own neck with a knife, although she only cut a little skin, but Di Renjie was frightened and hurriedly said, "Okay, take you there, I'll take you there!" You put the knife down first! ”
Sheng Guolan put away the knife and said slowly: "You have to be the talker, if you lie to me, I will still kill myself." ”
Di Renjie was speechless for a while when he heard this, what kind of person, threatening others with his own life, he was depressed for a while, and could only nod: "Don't worry, princess, I won't regret what I promised." ”
"That's good." Sheng Guolan said, "Please send someone to the Sifang Pavilion to spread a message, and let my father's two guards come to see me, one is called Tai Zongqing, and the other is Duan Zhongyan." ”
"Okay." Di Renjie nodded, and glanced at a catcher, who immediately bowed his head and left.
After the matter was over, Di Renjie turned around and went back to the room to wash, but Sheng Guolan also followed.
Di Renjie looked at her in surprise and said, "Why are you coming to my room?" ”
Sheng Guolan said: "From this moment on, I will follow you every inch until I find out the murderer behind my brother's murder." ”
Di Renjie's expression suddenly became very exciting, and he asked, "What if you can't find out?" ”
"Then I'll follow you all the time." Sheng Guolan sat down directly on the stool next to the table and said, "I'll go wherever you go." ”
"If I go to the hut or take a bath, will you follow?" I have to say that after being in contact with Li Hao, Di Renjie also lost part of his discipline, and if he was the one before, this kind of shameless words would definitely not be asked.
Sheng Guolan blushed and said, "Of course, I said that I would marry you, what are these things." ”
Yes, she was still thinking about this, but this answer made Di Renjie blush, and Di Renjie nodded helplessly: "Okay, if you like to follow, then follow it." "Then I started to wash up, and when I was done, I went to breakfast.
Sheng Guolan really followed him inch by inch, Di Renjie washed, she watched from the side, Di Renjie ate, she also asked people to serve him a bowl and eat together, after all, she is the envoy of Nanzhao, or the princess of Nanzhao, the distinguished guest came, just asked for a bowl of porridge, Dali Temple dare not give it.
After breakfast, Di Renjie went back to the courtyard in front of the room to practice martial arts, since he went to Youzhou with Li Hao, Di Renjie had seen the swordsmanship of the swordsmanship master Ye Mengqiu, and he had some understanding, and he came back and practiced diligently, and his martial arts improved several times.
Sheng Guolan's martial arts can only be regarded as average, compared with the current Di Renjie, only seven or eight moves were bounced away by Di Renjie The knife in his hand, Sheng Guolan refused to admit defeat and shouted: "Come again!" "Go up and pick up the knife and keep fighting.
Di Renjie deliberately forced her to leave, and he didn't leave his hand, shooting down the knife in her hand again and again, she shouted "come again" every time, and then continued to fight.
Soon, two warriors dressed as Nanzhao came, presumably Tai Zongqing and Duan Zhongyan that Sheng Guolan said, these two people were very tall and strong, covered in tendons and flesh, bronzed skin, they had already heard about the killing of the prince, as soon as they saw Sheng Guolan, the two strong men actually knelt in front of Sheng Guolan and cried bitterly, crying like two two hundred pound children.
Sheng Guolan saw them crying, and her eyes were red, but she couldn't bear to cry, but comforted the two of them, Di Renjie watched from the sidelines, secretly admired, this Sheng Guolan is young, but she has a tough heart, and she has the style of a general, which is not easy.
Di Renjie didn't do much business all day, because he had already thought of a plan in his heart, and it was not time to implement the plan.
In the evening, Di Renjie went to find Sun Fujia and reported to him the new progress of the case. In this way, is it really not Li Hao's doing? ”
Di Renjie said: "At present, King Qiongnan has not completely gotten rid of suspicion, and he has all the evidence to speak. ”
"Well, that's good, I'm relieved by your attitude." Sun Fujia smiled and nodded.
Di Renjie said: "My lord, early tomorrow morning, I want to take two hundred people to Taiyuan to search for Changfu's information, and ask your lord to send an approval." ”
"Okay, I'll give it to you." Even if Sun Fujiadang wrote a piece of approval to Di Renjie, with this approval, Di Renjie could mobilize two hundred Dali Temples to catch fast, which was very majestic.
Di Renjie retired after getting the approval, and Sun Fujia began to write again, tomorrow morning Li Shimin will definitely ask about the progress of the case, and he must prepare in advance.
Early the next morning, at the routine small court meeting, on the Liangyi Palace, the first thing Li Shimin did was to ask Sun Fujia about the progress of the case, Sun Fujia handed over the note, and dictated: "Your Majesty, it has been ascertained that the murderer who poisoned is from Bingzhou, and the minister has sent Di Renjie to take people to Bingzhou to investigate, and now it is estimated that he has set off." ”
"Merges?" Li Shimin looked at Song Shu, and asked thoughtfully, "That means that this matter has nothing to do with Li Hao?" ”
Sun Fujia bowed his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it only reduces the suspicion of King Qiongnan, and King Qiongnan has not completely escaped from suspicion." ”
"Well, okay, I got it." Li Shimin nodded, obviously, he was very satisfied with the speed of handling the case in Dali Temple, and Li Hao's suspicion had also decreased, he was very happy, because he didn't think that Li Hao did it, and he didn't want Li Hao to do it.
Li Shimin paused, and said with a majestic face: "This person is really bold, he dares to poison and kill foreign envoys in Chang'an City, and one of the dead is the prince of Nanzhao, this case must be investigated, otherwise it will not be able to explain to Nanzhao, I am afraid that it will cause the two countries to fight and ruin the people." ”
"Obey the order!" Sun Fujia's body was bent like a bow.
