Chapter 122: The Mystery of the Sifang Pavilion (3)


The residence of the Turkic Mission, located in the backyard of the Sifang Pavilion.More Visits:.Wen Yanbo took Du Ruhui, Zhao Yunze, and an official about thirty years old to the backyard together.This official, who is about 30 years old, is called Chu Suiliang, and now lives in the post of general secretary of Zhongshu Province, acting in charge of the affairs of the Sifang Pavilion.The Sifang Pavilion is a yamen specially received by the Tang Dynasty court, which is equivalent to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in later generations.During the Sui period, the Sifang Pavilion was subordinate to the Honglu Temple.In the Tang Dynasty, the Sifang Pavilion was placed under the management of Zhongshu Province, and the Tongshi Sheren of Zhongshu Province was the chief official of the Sifang Pavilion.For the impression of Chu Suiliang and Zhao Yunze, he only knows that he is a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty.As for his life, nothing is known.Chu Suiliang, whose name is Dengshan, and his father Chu Liang, is one of the eighteen bachelors of the Qinwangfu Literature Museum.Maybe it's because of his father's shadow, maybe it's because he is quite talented himself, as soon as Chu Suiliang entered the office, he took the position of a general secretary from the six grades, which is much higher than Zhao Yunze, a rootless Ping.However, Chu Suiliang doesn't seem to be very lucky.After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he was summoned to the office, and his official robe was only worn for two months, and there was such a big case in the Sifang Pavilion under his jurisdiction.Chu Suiliang's nose was raised.The four of them walked to a pond in the backyard, and Chu Suiliang pointed to a row of curved ruler-shaped houses on the opposite side of the pond and said, "The houses in the north and west are the residences of the Turkic missions. ”Zhao Yunze took a closer look, but saw that the area of this pond was quite large, square in shape, and the side was twenty or thirty meters long.Lotus flowers and water lilies are planted in the pond, and the stems and leaves have dried up.On the south side of the pond, there is a gazebo, and the two sides of the pavilion are full of flowers and trees; On the east side of the pond, there is a wall with a row of bamboos planted under the wall.The houses of the Turkic mission, which Chu Suiliang mentioned, were located on the north and west sides of the pond and were in the shape of a curved ruler, enclosing half of the pond.In front of the house, there is a cloister facing the water.In the corridor, the sergeants of the Internal Guard Regiment of the Arsenal Special Administration were already standing guard.After Zhao Yunze arrived at the Sifang Pavilion, he handed over the sergeant he brought to the officials of the Sifang Pavilion for arrangement, and he went with Du Ruhui to meet Wen Yanbo.The officials of the Sifang Pavilion also moved fast enough, and immediately used the sergeants of the Internal Guard Regiment."

The environment here is very elegant."

Zhao Yunze looked at this and praised it.Chu Suiliang said: "The Sifang Pavilion is a place to receive guests, no better than other yamen.The environment is a little more elegant, which is also the proper meaning of the question.This reservoir-facing house is the best guest house in the Sifang Pavilion.His Majesty instructed the Turkic missions to be well received, and they were placed here.Who knows, there was a murder. ”Du Ruhui asked at this time: "Which room is the room where the crime occurred" Chu Suiliang said: "Please come with me." ”After a while, the four approached the row of houses on the west side of the pond.Chu Suiliang pointed to a house in the southernmost part and said, "This is the house where the crime occurred, which was originally lived by the head of the Turkic mission's guard, Ashdewumer.But for some reason, it was the deputy envoy of the mission, Pegallo, who died in this room last night. ”When Zhao Yunze heard that this was originally the house where Ashide Wumo sipped, his brows immediately furrowed.Wen Yanbo said at this time: "The old man has interrogated Ashdewumo and slurped.According to him, Pigallo was troubled by the water and soil, and the house was close to the latrine, so he and Ashdewumo had changed houses last night. ”Chu Suiliang pointed to the pavilion on the south side of the pond and said: "Not far from the grass and trees behind the pavilion, there is a thatched toilet, and this house is indeed the closest to the thatched toilet. ”After saying this, he pointed to the east end of the house on the north side of the pond, and continued: "Pigallo's original house is in the second room in the east head, which is far from the latrine, so it is no wonder that he will switch rooms and sleep with Ashdeumer. ”"Whose house is the first in Dongshou?"

asked Zhao Yunze.Chu Suiliang said: "It's obsessive.There were about thirty people from the Turkic mission living in the Quadrangle, and only Zhisili, Pigalo, and Ashdewumersi enjoyed a house for one person.The rest of the attachés are two or three people in a room. ”"Since Ashdewumer is also an important member of the mission, why is his house not next to the house of Lost Mind and Pigallo, but arranged to the farthest side from them," Zhao Yunze wondered.Chu Suiliang said: "The allocation of the house was negotiated by the Turks themselves, and the reason for their arrangement is unknown. ”Zhao Yunze's eyes narrowed, and he whispered: "Perhaps, the one who should have died last night was originally Ashide Wumo Sip." ”He already had an idea in his mind at this time.The Turks are clearly killing two birds with one stone.Jieli named Asdewumo to accompany him, because he had the intention of assassinating him.Then, he used the death of Ashide Wumo to blackmail Datang into trading.It's a pity that last night Ashdewumer Si and Pigallo changed houses, and by mistake, Pigallo became a substitute for the dead."

What is Peng Yu talking about?"

Wen Yanbo asked Zhao Yunze.Zhao Yunze shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just have some general ideas, and I'm not mature yet."

Let's take a look at the scene first. ”Chu Suiliang stepped forward to open the door, and everyone entered the room.There are not many furnishings in the room, just a collapse, a number of tables, a number of mats, and a bookshelf.Wen Yanbo pointed to a window next to the door and said, "It was at this window that Pigallo died.This morning, before the sky was bright, the envoy of the Sifang Pavilion was cleaning the pavilion on the south bank of the pond when he suddenly saw this window wide open.The night was cold at this time, and it was said that the window should not be opened, and the envoy was also careful, and came to check it out when he was suspicious.I saw a Turk lying on the windowsill, and the windowsill was covered with blood, so he reported to Dengshan. ”Zhao Yunze looked at the windowsill and the floor under the windowsill, but found no bloodstains."

What about the blood," Zhao Yunze asked Wen Yanbo suspiciously.Wen Yanbo said: "After Pigalo's body was carried away, the Turks cleaned up the room themselves.The blood stains were also wiped clean by them. ”"Lord Wen, why don't you know about protecting the scene," Zhao Yunze said angrily.Wen Yanbo shook his head and sighed, and said, "It's not that the old man doesn't know how to protect the scene, after the incident, Deng Shan ordered the guards of the Sifang Pavilion to seal off this room."

However, under the pretext of summoning Pigallo's soul back to the steppe, the Turks forcibly dispersed the guards and entered the room.The scene was also destroyed by them. ”Chu Suiliang also said: "At that time, Lord Wen and Master Fang both went to the court, and a certain person had just joined the government not long ago, and he was inexperienced, so he really couldn't stop the movements of the Turks. ”"Alas, the Turks are bent on solving the case and causing trouble for us," Zhao Yunze sighed.Wen Yanbo said: "The clue that the old man has now is only the results of the autopsy, and Pigallo was killed by an arrow in the back. ”"Arrow in the back" Zhao Yunze heard this, and hurriedly looked at the back of the room.Wen Yanbo said: "Peng Yu doesn't need to look at it, the arrow shouldn't have come from there."

At the time of the incident, the windows on that side were bolted from the inside, and the window paper was not damaged.This is also the strange thing about this case. ”Chu Suiliang echoed Wen Yanbo's words and said: "A certain person and Zhifu Sili were the first to rush over, and when the two of us came, the door of this house was also bolted from the inside.I kicked the door open, and the two of us were able to enter the room.A certain person also paid attention at the time, except for the window where Pigallo's body was, the rest of the windows were also bolted. ”"Then there were arrows on Pigallo's corpse at that time," Zhao Yunze asked again."

Nope."

Chu Suiliang shook his head and said
