After Li Lu learned that Wu Xu usurped the Tang Dynasty as emperor, he ended his western expedition, returned to Broken Leaves, and personally presided over the intervention of the Great Zhou established by Wu Xu, a woman, and many of the upper nobles of the British Empire came from the original Li Tang royal family and the five surnames and seven wangs, and they were still very concerned about the changes in the political situation of the homeland, especially the original Li Tang clan headed by Li Chonghui and Li Jingheng was even more angry with Wu Xu's ascendancy.This part of the people even wrote directly to Li Lu, asking them to send troops to the Central Plains, overthrow Wu Zhou, and rebuild the Tang Dynasty in the name of restoring Li Tang Zhengshuo, but Li Lu refused their request on the grounds that it was not yet time.On this day, Li Lu dealt with official business, and his heart was a little irritable, and as soon as his mind moved, he came to Dali Temple with a light car, and he wanted to hear Di Renjie's views on the political situation in the Central Plains."
Huaiying, are you saying that now is not the best time for us to make a move?"
Li Lu held the teacup, listened to Di Renjie's views on the political situation in the Central Plains, and then asked thoughtfully."
Yes, Your Majesty......
Although Wu Xu successfully usurped the throne and ascended to the throne as a woman, she offended many of the original magnates......
But Your Majesty, the people of the Central Plains are at ease, they are essentially towards Wu Xu....If we forcibly intervene at this time, the consequences will be difficult to predict......"
Di Renjie explained."
And when do you think the best time for us to step in?
Li Lu took a sip of tea and asked."
Your Majesty, the timing of this intervention is ......"
Di Renjie just wanted to speak, but suddenly heard the drums outside the hall vibrating, Di Renjie frowned, this is someone beating the drum to complain, he looked at Li Lu, "Huaiying, since someone is complaining, you are ...... to open the hall" Li Lu smiled and signaled Di Renjie to be busy with himself.Although Di Renjie is the Shangshu of Dali Temple, he is also the Datiti criminal officer of the Broken Leaf Mansion, so Di Renjie has the opportunity to directly judge the case, after getting Li Lu's permission, Di Renjie asked people to bring the drummer up to take a look, it turned out to be Ma Xin, the eldest disciple of the old master of the Broken Horse New Tianxi Acrobatic Class.Ma Xin fell to the ground crying when he entered the lobby, saying that the master died violently last night.Di Renjie was shocked when he heard this, this acrobatic class is very famous in the broken horse, although Di Renjie usually has no contact with the old class master, but he has appreciated his unique ability to fly chess in the air, the old class master stood on the stool blindfolded, threw the thirty-two chess pieces on the chess game into the air, and then shuttled back and forth on the dozen stools placed on the ground with two feet, and instantly put the chess pieces scattered in the sky back to the chess game.The unfortunate death of such a master, Di Renjie couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, but even if the old class master is more than seventy years old, it should be reasonable for him to pass away, why did the eldest disciple come to report to the official?
Di Renjie felt very strange: "Could it be that you have a secret to tell this official?"
”Ma Xin cried: "Master, don't you know, the master left a will before his death, and the acrobatic class was taken over by the small one after a hundred years, but who knew that the master died suddenly last night, and the brothers and sisters all said that it was because the villain couldn't wait, so he killed the master with murderous intentions."
The villain is really wronged, the little one can only beg you to go, find out the matter, and the little one is innocent. ”Di Renjie nodded, this case should be accepted, so he turned his head to look at Li Lu, and saw Li Lu nodding, so he took a group of subordinates and followed Ma Xin, and Li Lu, who liked to watch the excitement the most, also followed, he wanted to see what was strange about the death of this old class master, and at the same time, he also wanted to see if Di Renjie, who was doing justice under him, had the same judgment as God in the original time and space.The old class master has never married in his life, and only accepts three disciples, the eldest is Ma Xin, the second is called Feng Xiang, and the third is called Yin Gang.When Di Renjie arrived, the second Feng Xiang and the third Yin Gang were crying sadly, and when they saw Di Renjie coming, they were a little surprised at first, and then cried even more, only begging Di Renjie to bring Ma Xin to justice as soon as possible and avenge his teacher.Di Renjie comforted them a few words, and then went to the body of the old class master to offer condolences.Feng Xiang cried: "Master, Master must have been killed by Ma Xin, you see!
”As he spoke, he took Master's hand and showed it to Di Renjie.Di Renjie saw that the old class master was holding a chess piece in each hand, so he stretched out his hand to take a closer look at the chess piece, but he didn't think that the chess piece was held very tightly by the old class owner, and he used a lot of strength to pull out the two chess pieces, only to see that it was two "horse" chess.Di Renjie immediately thought of Ma Xin, the eldest disciple of the old class master who came to report the case, could this be a hint from the old class master before he lost his breath?
Di Renjie then conducted a careful examination of the old class master's body and found many doubts: it is said that if the old class master was killed to death, he should have a miserable face, but there was no pain on his face; But if it was a natural death, then why stared?
Li Lu on the other side also stepped forward to check, he was a military doctor in his previous life, and he immediately saw that there were other hidden secrets in this case.Di Renjie groaned, turned the old master's body sideways, and found that there was an imperceptible scar on the back of his head.Di Renjie raised his head, glanced around, sneered, and immediately ordered someone to take Ma Xin away.Ma Xin stomped his feet again and again and shouted that he was wronged, and Di Renjie said: "Whether it is wronged or not, you can talk about it in the lobby." ”Then he took a group of people and others to leave the acrobatic class with Ma Xin.On the way back, Li Lu asked Di Renjie tentatively: "Huaiying, have you found clues from the deceased and decided that Ma Xin is the murderer?"
”Di Renjie glanced at him, and then explained: "Your Majesty, the deceased is holding two 'horse' chess pieces in his hand, and Wei Chen has also speculated that it may be a hint from the deceased, but if you really want to hint, one chess piece is enough, why use two?"
”Li Lu immediately said: "So you conclude that Ma Xin was wronged, and deliberately escorted him back, in fact, to protect him?"
”Di Renjie nodded: "Someone must be framing Ma Xin, and the person who framed Ma Xin must be among his two junior disciples." ”The two talked all the way back to the house.Li Lu saw that Di Renjie was still frowning, and knew that he was still thinking about the master of the acrobatic class, so he wanted to pull him to play a game of chess to relax a little, "Huaiying, come on, let's kill a few games......
Change your mind. ”Li Lu asked someone to bring a pair of chess pieces and invited Di Renjie.Zhidi Renjie saw the chessboard set up by Li Lu, but suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty, this case can be solved!"
”"Huh?
Huaiying, you're saying you have a way?
Let's hear about ....."
Li Lu smiled when he heard this, he asked his favorite minister, "Your Majesty, as long as we are so and so ......."
Di Renjie said so and so, and Li Lu nodded directly, and then Di Renjie and Li Lu returned to the Tianxi acrobatic class with the original team.
