A few days later, this morning, Zhao Ziliang stretched himself after finishing processing the official documents, and shouted to the outside: "Who is outside?"
The guard Xiao Qin walked in and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, it's me, Xiao Qin."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Xiao Qin, it's you on duty again, okay, you go and get ready, let's go out for a walk."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you asked me to pay attention to the second trial of the paper-making businessman Wang Dagui's stolen papermaking technology on that day.
I have inquired clearly.
The Luo County County Government will hold the second trial today.
However, there was news yesterday that that day Two of the three customers in the paper shop died in the city inn, and one of them is missing."
The current Hengluosi is no longer the former Hengluosi.
The urban area of Hengluosi is now divided into two counties, namely Heng County and Luo County.
Luo County was expanded and enlarged on the basis of the original old city.
Hengxian County is the Xincheng District and the Royal Palace District, and above these two counties is the capital.
An administrative agency oversees the administrative affairs of Hengluos.
Its administrative level is the same as that of the Protectorate of Kunling, the Protectorate of Mengchi, the Protectorate of Kangju in the Sogdian region, the Protectorate of Taixi in the Tocharo region, Tingzhou Prefecture, and Ji.
The eight administrative regions of Mark Protectorate, Yaik Protectorate and Khazar Protectorate are the same.
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang frowned and said: "It seems that this case is not simple.
This is not a simple theft case.
It just so happens that it is still early.
We should be able to catch up when we rush to Luo County County Office. " The two of them put on their casual clothes, slipped out of the side door of the palace and went straight to the Luo County government office.
When they arrived at the Luo County government office, the trial of the paper-making theft case had already begun.
The plaintiff Wang Dagui and the defendant Abdullah were both kneeling in the lobby.
In addition to these two people, there were two people wearing county government official clothes, one was an old man and the other was the county government's head catcher.
I saw the county magistrate Liu Rong asking the catcher: "Gu, catcher, have you found out the identities of the two merchants who died in Yuehua Inn yesterday?"
Gu Shaotou clasped his fists and said: "To tell you what to say, sir, it has been found out that one of them is Dixit, a businessman from the Hedatiao tribe in the Taixi Governor's Palace.
He lives in Hesina City.
This man is the largest paper dealer in Hesina City.
A middleman; the other person is Mahata, a businessman from the Chola Kingdom in South India.
The largest paper seller in the Zhuluo Kingdom, his subordinates have confirmed with the plaintiff Wang Yuanwai that these two people were two of the three customers in the paper shop that day.
As for the other customer, Dumac, a businessman from the Eastern Roman Empire, is currently here.
The whereabouts of the person are unknown, and my subordinates are searching for him."
Liu Rong looked at the old man Wu Zuo: "Wu Zuo, have you found out the cause of death of the two deceased people?"
The old man apologized and bowed with a face of shame: "Sir, I am ashamed that the cause of death of those two people has not been found out until now."
Liu Rong was very unhappy and asked: "Old man Qi, how did you do this?
It's been a day and a night since the bodies were brought back, but you haven't found out the cause of death of these two people.
Do you still want to do it?"
Old Man Qi said: "Sir, there are no wounds or scars on these two people's bodies.
There is no abnormality in the skin color of the corpses.
There is no sign of poisoning or suffocation.
My subordinate has been working as a widower in Chang'an for 20 years and has examined the corpses."
There are eight hundred if not one thousand, but I have never seen such a corpse with no cause of death, please forgive me."
These words attracted Zhao Ziliang's special attention.
The case where the cause of death could not be found became more and more interesting.
The value of papermaking is well known.
It has carried the spread and continuation of human civilization for a long period of time and has played a great role in human civilization.
The development of paper has played a huge role, and the economic benefits it has brought are even greater.
Before papermaking spreads from China, all countries in the world that need paper must import it from China.

There are other countries peeking at papermaking technology.
Not surprising either.
Liu Rong frowned.
The complexity of this case was beyond his imagination.
He turned to look at the plaintiff Wang Dagui: "Plaintiff, can you find any other witnesses?"
Wang Dagui shook his head and said: "Sir, apart from the shopkeeper and four clerks, there were only three merchants in the store at that time."
At this time, a group of people came outside, and someone shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way."
After the crowd separated, a middle-aged Tianzhu man wearing Tianzhu clothes walked into the county government office under the escort of several followers.
Two government officials standing guard at the door stepped forward to stop him: "A case is being tried in the Tang Dynasty in the county government office.
No one can wait."
"Enter" The middle-aged man from Tianzhu put his hands together and said: "I am Ai Luo, the envoy of the Zhuluo Kingdom of Tianzhu to the Western Qin Dynasty.
Please see your county magistrate Liu Rong."
"Hold on" Liu Rong did not dare to neglect after hearing the report of the Yamen servant.
He immediately got up and walked down the hall to the door and clasped his fists at Ai Luo and said: "It turns out to be Mr.
Ai Luo, the envoy of the Zhu Luo Kingdom.
I am reviewing the case.
I am afraid that I will not be able to receive Mr.
Ai Luo for the time being. " Ailuo said: "Master Liu, I heard that the case that Master Liu is trying is related to Mahata, a merchant from Chola Kingdom.
I also heard that Mahata died in the inn yesterday.
A Chinese businessman was doing business in your country, but he died in vain for no reason. , as the envoy of the Cholu Kingdom, of course I have to seek justice for our businessmen, don’t I, the envoy, even have the right to observe?”
Liu Rong pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "Master Ailuo, please" Liu Rong had just brought a chair for Ai Luo to sit down, and another big shot came outside.
It turned out to be Liu Rong's immediate boss, the Governor of the Capital, Gao Shi.
Gao Shi's appointment as Governor of the Capital was only a part-time job.
He was also the Deputy Governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate. , Zhao Ziliang personally served as Duhufu, but Zhao Ziliang does not specifically manage the affairs of the Dufufu.
Generally, the Deputy Dufufu Gao Shi acts as his agent.
The power of the Duhufu is very great.
It manages all other ethnic groups in Western Qin except the Han people.
The administrative body for clan and sect affairs.
"Your Majesty Fu Yin, I am sorry to hear you come from afar, please forgive me."
Liu Rong immediately came to the door to welcome him.
Gao Shi waved his hand and said: "You're welcome.
This person next to me is Mahdi, the prince of the Dashi Kingdom and the envoy to our Western Qin Dynasty."
Liu Rong looked at the young man from Dashi Country next to Gao Shi, raised his hands and saluted: "It turns out to be His Royal Highness Prince Mahdi, you are polite as a subordinate."
Mahdi spoke a long sentence in Arabic, which Liu Rong could not understand, and neither could anyone else.
There was an attendant beside Mahdi who acted as a translator, "Our prince said that this case is related to my businessman who is a big food country."
Abdullah, it's about my food The reputation of our country, our merchants from Dashiguo have always been law-abiding when doing business in other countries, and will never engage in such shameful behavior as theft.
I hope that your country will give justice to our merchants.
In addition, His Royal Highness hopes to be able to observe the case when your Excellency is hearing the case. " Liu Rong looked at Gao Shi with his eyes and said, "You can judge whatever you see me doing.
Everything should be done in accordance with the law and handled impartially.
You will never wrongly accuse a good person, but you will never let a bad person go."
"Yes, it's your lord, your highness, please."
When Zhao Ziliang saw this, he turned around and left.
Xiao Qin followed and asked, "Master, the case has not been completed yet, why did you leave?"
Zhao Ziliang said as he walked: "This case is no longer able to be tried by the Luo County County Government.
The matter involves merchants from the three countries of Dashi, Zhuluo merchants and the Eastern Roman Empire.

Even Gao Shi has come forward.
Liu Rong is afraid that he will not be able to withstand it."
Despite the pressure, the county government's prosecutors can't even find out the cause of death of the witness, and can't determine whether it was natural death, suicide or homicide.
How can this case continue to be tried?"
Xiao Qin wondered: "Will Liu Rong let the defendant go if the trial can't continue?"
"It's impossible to let him go.
He's not that stupid.
If the witness hadn't died and no murder had occurred, he might have let him go.
But now there has been a murder case, and the deceased were two of the three witnesses.
This is obviously fishy. , although the reason cannot be found yet, there is definitely something wrong.
If it is a coincidence that only one person died, it is not a coincidence that two people died, not to mention that one person is missing, which already explains the problem. " Xiao Qin came again: "Since Luo County can't release him, but the case can't be tried, what will Liu Rong do?
This case can't be dragged on forever.
Prince Dashi, the envoys of the Zhu Luo Kingdom, and the envoys of the Eastern Roman Empire are afraid that they will not It will subside” Zhao Ziliang said: "Liu Rong is afraid that he has no other option but to take the blame and resign."
Five days later, as Zhao Ziliang expected, Luo County Magistrate Liu Rong submitted his resignation to Dugujun, the chief supervisor of the Judicial Temple.
After reading the resignation, Dugujun agreed after careful consideration and allowed Liu Rong to resign as the head of the Luo County Judicial Chamber. job, because of the west There are not many officials in the Qin Dynasty, and many of them hold multiple positions, and Liu Rong is no exception.
He is not only the magistrate of Luo County, but also the head of the judicial office of Luo County.
He has the power to manage government affairs and also has the power to administer justice.
He resigned.
After taking the post of Chief of the Judicial Chamber, he was also the County Magistrate.
But this case cannot always be postponed.
Sooner or later, it will be tried and decided.
After reading the case file, Du Gujun, the chief supervisor of the Judicial Temple, also felt that this case was too complicated.
It also involved businessmen from the Three Kingdoms, and they were all big businessmen.
It was really difficult to deal with the support from various countries, so I had to come to Zhao Ziliang with the case file.
"Meet the King" Zhao Ziliang raised his head from the official document and asked, "Dugujun, something happened."
Dugujun took out the case file and handed it over with both hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is a case involving businessmen from the Three Kingdoms, namely the Dashi Kingdom, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Zhuluo Kingdom.
Behind them are the powerful people of the Three Kingdoms.
After the case, the envoys of the Three Kingdoms Everyone is putting pressure on our Foreign Affairs Office and asking us to give an explanation as soon as possible.
Liu Rong, the director of the Luo County Judicial Office, could not withstand the pressure and has already submitted his resignation."
Zhao Ziliang read the case file and asked: "The Luo County Judicial Chamber can't continue the trial.
Is there nothing your Judicial Temple can do?"
Dugujun said: "I am ashamed, this case is too strange.
The cause of death of two witnesses cannot be found out.
The whereabouts of another witness are unknown.
Even the cause of death of the witness cannot be found out.
This case cannot be closed at all.
I think, This case has exceeded the jurisdiction of the Judicial Temple, and I am afraid that it cannot be tried by the Judicial Temple alone."
Zhao Ziliang asked: "How do you say this?"
Dugujun said: "This case seems to be a theft, but it involves papermaking technology.
This is not a simple theft, it seems to be related to fine craftsmanship."
"What do you mean?"
Dugujun said: "Transfer the case to the inner guard Yamen of Jinyiwei.
Aren't they specialized in dealing with enemy countries?
They must be much more experienced in this regard than the Judiciary Temple."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Okay, the investigation and detection will be done by the Jinyiwei Neiwei Yamen, and the trial will be handled by the Judicial Temple.
