Chapter 35: Go check it out!
After about half an hour, Li Zhi and the others returned to Fanshe with the news.
"How did your check go?"
Li You poured a cup of tea for Li Zhi, blinked slightly, thinking about many things in his mind.
Li Zhi picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. He looked very thirsty.
Tan Shuangye saw Huang Sanpao standing aside and looking thirsty, so she also poured him a glass of water.
Li You looked at Li Zhi. He had some things he couldn't figure out now and needed Li Zhi to give some ideas for solving the problem.
Then go to the villages of those veterans to find out.
"We did find a hidden stake in the lotus pond, which is an ordinary piece of wood stuck at the bottom of the water. It is very close to the pavilion. Xiang Sanpao is just tall enough to stand up through the stake and see clearly into the pavilion.
Things that happened."
"But this requires a good sense of balance, which means he must at least have good martial arts. It is difficult for ordinary people to do it."
Li Zhi talked about the findings he found here.
"Then Satsuma found traces of being strangled by a rope on the outermost door beam. Someone must have hung upside down on the rope and shot arrows at you."
"There is a screen outside to block it. As long as there are no maids delivering food inside, you can attack it."
"That means they are extremely familiar with the entire venue. It may even be that they participated in setting up the venue, so they can find everyone's location so accurately." Li You said, "There is a screen at the door to block everyone's location.
There is also a screen behind the location.”
"If you are not familiar with it, even if the King of Heaven comes, you will not be able to find so accurately where the person named Li Xian will sit."
It is actually easy to judge where each person sits.
Because the seating arrangement is basically based on status, age, seniority, etc.
For example, Shangguan Zisu can easily guess where Li You will sit and prepare his favorite food and drink for him in advance.
As long as you think carefully and know the distance between each position and the approximate position of each person, it is very simple to find out where that person will sit.
"Yes!" Li Zhi agreed very much with Li You's statement, and he immediately said:
"We have sent people to bring all the workers involved in the construction of the venue back to Dali Temple."
"You still have to pay attention to your attitude. After all, there are some people from the Ministry of Industry, so you still have to give them some face." Li You reminded.
"Of course I know this. I'm not someone who would torture someone to extract a confession." Li Zhi waved his hand and said:
"What did you find there?"
After Li Zhi finished speaking, Li You did not answer immediately.
He took the crossbow arrow out of his arms and placed it on the table.
"This thing is a military item used by the army before the Tang Dynasty. According to the truth, it has all been collected."
"But at that time, some veterans who were about to leave the army were reluctant to part with these objects that had been with them for many years, so they secretly hid them as souvenirs."
"Is it something from the military?" Li Zhi didn't expect this thing to have such an origin. If the military was involved, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.
Nowadays, the old guys in the military are not someone they can offend.
"It's not that serious." Li You naturally guessed what Li Zhi was thinking.
After all, top warriors such as Cheng Yaojin, Li Jing, and Li Ji accompanied Li Shimin to conquer the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was not the kind of person who would just throw away his time and kill the donkey, so naturally he would not dispose of all his old subordinates.
Therefore, among the current dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty, these people cannot be offended.
"These things will not involve Uncle Cheng and the others. They are now clean and self-sufficient, and they are not greedy for power. They just want to drink, eat and enjoy life at home. Some time ago, I visited some old uncles to nurse them back to health at home.
, they won’t care about these things when they are full, don’t worry!”
"That's good!" When Li Zhi heard this, he felt much more at ease, otherwise this case would have been difficult to handle.
There was only one unsolved case a month ago, so it is impossible to solve another unsolved case.
Then, as the young minister of Dali Temple, should I continue to do this?
Li You: "I do have some ideas in my mind, but I still have to wait for news from the people who are investigating Li Xian's relationship."
"Otherwise, everything will be empty talk and all in vain."
"What are you talking about in vain?" Samodoro walked in unsteadily, not caring that his hands were dirty, he sat down and directly took a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth.
Li You smiled, poured him a glass of water and handed it over.
"Be careful, don't choke." As Li You spoke, he looked at Samodoro with eyes that seemed to have other meanings.
"Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?" Samodoro put down his tea cup and noticed the way Li You looked at him.
"I have something to tell you!" Li You regained his composure and chuckled.
"What's the matter?" Samodoro felt a little suspicious, narrowed his eyes and said cautiously.
"You know a lot of people in the world, go find someone to look up the person named Li Xian." Li You said with a smile.
"Why do you want me to check? Didn't Dali Temple already send people to check?" When Samodoro heard that he was being asked to go to work, he immediately became unwilling.
That little expression made it look like he had been wronged a lot.
Li You didn't bother to say anything else, he just tore off his money bag and threw it in front of Samodoro.
"Is that okay now?"
"Okay! Master, you have a good rest! How can you worry about such a small thing? I promise that I will help you take care of it."
When Samodoro saw the full money bag, his eyes shone directly, and he put the money bag into his arms with a smile.
Then he quickly stood up and planned to run outside.
Li You tilted his head and shouted.
"Part of the money in it is used as our meal money today, don't forget it."
"Got it!" Samodoro's voice came from outside, and it sounded like he was already quite far away.
"This boy is really a money-minded man!" Li You shook his head helplessly and took a sip of tea.
Shangguan Zisu was a little confused and asked:
"Why did you ask Satsuma to find someone to investigate the man named Li Xian?"
"Didn't Li Zhi already send people from Dali Temple there?"
Li Zhi didn't ask, but he looked at Li You.
Li You explained with a smile:
"The Li family in Longxi is not an ordinary family, and Li Xian was also a Jinshi at that time. People from Dali Temple wore official uniforms to investigate. Some things are impossible to find out."
"So this kind of thing should naturally be investigated by people with other methods!!"
