In the sixth year of Wude, after the Tang Dynasty unified the world, the soldiers were inevitably slackened. Instead of training, they were sent to build palaces and gardens to enjoy the power of the powerful, resulting in a sharp decline in combat effectiveness.

By the ninth year of Wude, Jie Litu led a large army to the Wei River and forced Chang'an.

Li Shimin was forced to establish the Wei River Alliance, and therefore felt the importance of strengthening the army. So he set an example and summoned hundreds of people from the guards, personally came to guide the cavalry and archery and martial arts, and soon trained a large number of elite soldiers.

Li Shimin also selected more than a hundred "smart and good at riding and shooting" from these elite soldiers, known as "hundred horsemen".

Every time Li Shimin went out to hunt, the "Hundred Cavalry" accompanied the guards, and usually stationed at Xuanwu Gate, which was the prototype of the Northern Ya Imperial Army.

Later, Li Shimin set up another left and right camp outside Xuanwu Gate, and selected the best ones from the southern guards as generals, named them "Flying Cavalry", which expanded the imperial guards of the northern yamen.

During the Li Zhi period, the left and right camps were expanded into the left and right Yulin Army, and the Northern Ya Imperial Army was officially established.

The "hundred cavalry" has gradually expanded into "thousand cavalry" and "ten thousand cavalry"...

Of course, Li Shimin cannot predict what will happen in the future.

The purpose of his formation of the Hundred Cavalry was to strengthen the defense of the north gate of the palace... As the initiator of the Xuanwu Gate mutiny, no one knew better the weakness of the palace guards than him.

Now, he handed over the hundred cavalry to Li Lizhi, which made up for the embarrassment that the Imperial City Department was unattached and had no one available, so as not to risk those children of the ministers and ministers.

on the other hand……

As a princess, Li Lizhi does not pose a threat to the throne and will relatively not easily fall into the vortex of power struggle.

Li Shimin can rest assured that she is responsible for the matters of the North Gate.

The only problem is that Li Lizhi has too little experience in commanding soldiers, almost a piece of paper.

However, with himself behind him, Li Shimin felt that it was not a big problem.

On the side, Li Lizhi also felt that there was no big problem.

Since she learned about Princess Pingyang Zhao's life and deeds, leading the army as a woman has become her long-cherished wish.

Although only the first half of the achievement has been achieved, this is a step ahead.

Whether you can fight on the battlefield in the future depends on whether God will give you a chance.

As for the moment...

If you don’t leave the palace, you won’t leave the palace.

However, if I don’t let me leave the palace, I can’t control the case of a bad person?

My father said that all the princes and ministers have already explained it, so we can't even explain it to the Duke of the State of Shan, right?

Immediately asked Wang Xiaojie to inform Luo Taisui to go to the broken temple to investigate the case.

Imperial City Department... Hundred Cavalry... Bad People...

Humph, only adults make choices, and children want everything!

Li Lizhi clenched her fists and immediately set off for the Imperial City Department.

...

Luo Taisui received a notice from Wang Xiaojie and did not immediately leave the city to go to the so-called ruined temple. Instead, he accompanied him and took the beggar Zhang and Shengshou to Dali Temple first.

I don’t know how long it has passed since the discovery of the body. The body may have been transported back to Dali Temple for safekeeping or waiting for disposal. Going to the ruined temple will only be empty.

It turns out that Luo Taisui is right.

When he learned that Luo Taisui was the deputy envoy of the Imperial City Department, the Dali Temple was very proud of its appearance, so he quickly took them to the morgue.

Seventy-four corpses were placed on the ground in pieces wrapped in straw mats, and they couldn't help but feel cold when they saw them.

The beggar Zhang and Shengshou exchanged glances and then went to confirm the identity of the deceased.

As the straw mats were lifted up, the beggar Zhang's face became more and more complicated.

Frightened, shocked, regretful, incredible...

Various expressions alternated quickly on his face.

Putting down the last straw mat, beggar Zhang stood up and stood there for a moment before nodding to Luo Taisui.

Luo Taisui understood it in his heart.

He is really a bad person, but I don’t know why he was destroyed in an unknown dilapidated temple outside Chang'an City.

"I dare to ask Lu Sicheng, who can I find out the real murderer?" he asked.

Dali Temple Chief Lu Baiyan shook his head and said, "I don't know yet."

Dali Temple just took over this case yesterday and is still in the stage of finding clues, so no one dares to make a conclusion.

"Where is the time of the incident?" Luo Taisui asked again.

Lu Baiyan pondered for a moment: "It should not exceed three days."

Wang Xiaojie was a polite person in the government and asked politely: "Can we check the files about this case?"

Seeing Lu Baiyan's face showing a difficult look, Wang Xiaojie said again: "The Imperial City Department had no intention of interfering in Dali Temple's case, but...

Princess Changle is very concerned about this case. After we understand the case, we still need to report it."

Princess Changle was the princess she loved the most today. Wang Xiaojie brought her name out, and Lu Baiyan had to swallow the refusal that he was about to say.

Besides, bad people have always been the target of the Imperial City Department, and it is reasonable for Princess Changle to pay attention to this case.

"Please follow me." Lu Baiyan thought for a while, but finally accepted Wang Xiaojie's request.

Luo Taisui secretly gave Wang Xiaojie a thumbs up.

Several people followed Lu Baiyan away from the morgue and went to the treasury where files and evidence were stored.

There are not many clues related to the case of bad persons. Luo Taisui got the file and finished reading it in just a few eyes, and then handed it to Wang Xiaojie.

"When the body was found, there were still some grains and silk left on the scene..."

Luo Taisui is not a professional case handler, so he does not understand the meaning of some clues hidden behind the text.

But these two seemingly ordinary things aroused his curiosity.

Lu Baiyan's serious face showed a little surprise.

The casual words of Luo Taisui hit the key point of this case.

"Can I take a look at this silk?" Luo Taisui said.

Lu Boyan didn't say anything, so he asked someone to get evidence.

"really……"

When Luo Taisui saw silk, she showed a clear expression.

"How?" Lu Baiyan tentatively said.

"The salary paid by the court this month seems to be only officials of third rank or above are qualified to receive such silk..." Luo Taisui said with his chin.

In ancient times, the salary of officials was called salary, which was a combination of monthly salary and annual salary.

The so-called monthly salary is the money distributed to officials every month, and the annual salary is the food distributed to officials every year.

During the locust plague this year, officials in the court "voluntarily" cut their salaries and even took out property to rescue disasters. Naturally, the court would not treat them unfairly.

Therefore, when the monthly salary is paid this month, the annual salary is also distributed in advance.

However, food is still a shortage of things at the moment, so the court replaced some of them with silk.

As for Luo Taisui, for some reason, he has always received the salary of the Duke.

The Duke of the State is equivalent to the first-class rank, so he naturally obtained this kind of silk.

"Where is the age of high officials above the third rank in the place where the bad persons have corpses, is it true that..." Luo Taisui was thinking.

At this time, Lu Baiyan closed his mouth tightly.
