Chapter 10 Analysis of Chapter Nine

Not long after arriving at the gate of Luoyang, Ayu was anxious to go home to have a look, and bid farewell to Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang for the time being, and Di Renjie and others went to the Ministry of Officials to handle some routine matters. Because Di Renjie never bought property and opened a mansion in Luoyang, only a few houses were sent by the officials.Di Chun brought the luggage into the house with the handyman. Seeing that although the house was a little old, it was spacious and bright after being cleaned. After tidying up the table and case, I thought it would be just a place to read.

Li Yuanfang was even simpler. He only put a few pieces of daily clothes back, and there was nothing to tidy up, so he came to the study to see if there was anything he could do to help. Di Renjie roughly read several old mansion newspapers. Seeing Li Yuanfang coming in, he pointed to the mansion report: "Everyone in the East Palace has indeed been arrested by Lai Junchen and put into prison. Under torture, I'm afraid something bad will happen." Li Yuanfang said: "Although the humble officials don't fully understand the relationship between them, it doesn't make sense at all to say that the prince and concubine practiced the technique of disgusting victory and harming the empress."

Di Renjie sighed: "That's right, as long as people in the world are not crazy and demented, they all have certain rules in their actions. Even if there are various means to achieve the goal, the root cause will eventually come down to this 'motivation' - but Liu, The second concubine Dou was born in a family, noble and respectful of etiquette, and she had no reason to do such a rebellious thing. The two of them were obviously planted and killed in vain, but the haunting incident, which was unpredictable and variable, was given to Wu Chengsi, Lai The reason why the Junchen gang harmed the prince."

"I've been following your lord for these years, and I don't believe that there are ghosts killing people in this world. Could it be the palace maid Wu Chengsi killed?" "It doesn't look like it. In this case, the palace maid Tuan'er is a key person, and it was she who reported on the second concubine. Either it was at the instigation of Wu Chengsi and others, or she herself had ulterior motives and other ambitions. No matter what the reason is, it must be a very dangerous disaster for the prince to give her to the prince by the queen of heaven and stay in the east palace for a long time; Possibly exposing himself to others, Wu Chengsi wanted to seize the throne of the emperor, and there had been a lot of turmoil in the court, and the fact that the crown prince and second concubine were tired of winning, it is very easy to make people think that he is murdering people." Di Renjie glanced at Li Yuanfang, He stroked his beard and said: "Don't think that the Empress Dowager is easy to fool. With His Majesty's prestige, I'm afraid Wu Chengsi doesn't have the courage. Besides, that ball is really a usable pawn, why not keep it?"

Li Yuanfang thought for a while and said, "If the person was killed by An Jinzang, then why?" "From what Ayu said, assuming Tuan'er was inadvertently discovered by An Jinzang when he planned to frame the second concubine, then he would have seen the development of the matter and the key figures clearly. The justice of an ordinary person Or loyalty can be his motive for killing people, but it is a pity that Wu Chengsi and others still caught him." Di Renjie said: "If this assumption is true, then although An Jinzang's actions are not wise enough, they have to make people I admire it."

Li Yuanfang was worried about Ayu, and said: "If everyone in the Eastern Palace fails to endure the punishment and admits to the crime of treason, can my lord have a way to save him?" "That's exactly what I'm worried about." Di Renjie shook his head, frowned and said, "Being disgusted with the witch curse, not to mention far away, the first emperor, when he was a king and queen, was abolished because he and his mother did things that disgusted him in the palace. The whole story is clear to the Empress Dowager. If you listen to the slander in a fit of rage today, as long as someone can explain the relationship, with the ability of the Empress Dowager, you will understand it immediately. But in this situation, no one dares to stand up. Involved in this case. In my current position, it is rare to see Tianyan." After finishing speaking, he sighed again, and said: "Besides, Tianhou has always been extremely superstitious about ghosts and gods. Is there any theory in the market that masks can mobilize Yin soldiers? Involving the East Palace is a royal taboo, if we don't find out the reason, I'm afraid this case will not be closed."

Li Yuanfang was listening, and felt depressed. Since following Di Renjie, he has handled thousands of cases, and all of them have made the case clear and wronged. At this time, I know that there are cases in the world, even if they know the reason, they can't be cleared. The world, how can it be boring! Di Renjie turned around and saw that Li Yuanfang was silent, he understood, and said, "Yuanfang, you don't have to be discouraged. There are some things that you just know you can't do. That's why I said that the haunting is a variable, maybe it's an advantage." The variables are also unknown."

At that moment, Di Renjie spread out the paper on the case, and began to draw while thinking. Li Yuanfang approached to have a look, and saw that it was the painting carved on the stone platform of the cave in Gaojia Village. Di Renjie drew it very carefully. The Niu girl is facing each other, and there are eight trees lined up behind her. A river flows slowly in the middle. In the sky, the sun and the moon are rising at the same time. Di Renjie observes meticulously and draws clearly. I didn't know what Di Renjie meant by drawing this picture, but I heard Di Chun say outside: "Master, Miss Ayu is here." Before he finished speaking, Ayu rushed into the room early, and hurriedly said: "My lord, brother Li, it's not good Yes, my master was taken away by the judges."

Di Renjie put down his pen and said, "Yu'er, speak slowly." It turned out that when Ayu came home, the housekeeper Wu Bo told her with a bitter face that her master came back suddenly yesterday to arrange the affairs of the house one by one. Because Ayu was away, he left another letter for Uncle Wu to keep safe, and it must be handed over to Ayu. , The words between the words seemed to be confessing the funeral. At that time, Uncle Wu knew something was wrong, and sure enough, the magistrate came to arrest him at night. Ayu's master was not alarmed, and confessed that he was the one who poisoned Tuan'er, but all the soldiers searched for him. They smashed and destroyed all the utensils in the mansion, but did not find any masked weapon. At that time, Master Ayu laughed and said, "How can ghosts and gods appear in the world so easily? If you want to find them, you will have to go to the underworld to find them!" Everyone was terrified. , I didn't dare to search again, so I had to take the lock away.

Imitating the butler's tone, Ayu described the situation at that time, took out her master's letter, and handed it to Di Renjie to read. In the letter, he told Ayu: You don’t need to bother to investigate anymore. The matter of killing the palace maid was done by the master alone. I can’t just sit back and watch the villain frame the prince, so I did it very happily. I came back this time to close the case. , The crime of committing murder has nothing to do with Donggong, so Ayu need not be sad and anxious, and don't need to try to rescue him.As for the success of the past, it is only borrowed from the ancestors. Now that the matter is over, it has gone where it came from, so that it will not fall into the hands of evil people and cause harm to the world.

Also, he once stored some things at his friend Duan Jiu's place, related to A Yu's life experience, if the master is gone in the future, someone will give these things to A Yu, and in a last resort, A Yu may rely on these things to keep himself safe. Di Renjie lowered his head to read it, and his eyes showed a bit of approval: "Yu'er, after your master has arranged everything properly, you still come back to take responsibility for the crime graciously, it is really courageous." While bowing his head, he thought to himself: "Now all the people in the Eastern Palace have fallen into the hands of Lai Junchen, and they are being tortured. Why can't they get a confession? It's called searching for the murder weapon. I'm really interested in that mask!" He smiled lightly and said, "Since this is the case, it can slow down the situation a bit." Ayu looked at Di Renjie, feeling extremely confused, and said anxiously: "Please help my master!" I only hope that Di Renjie can come up with a wonderful method immediately, but I also know how it is so easy? Di Renjie nodded, and walked slowly in the room with his hands behind his back. After contemplating for a while, when she raised her head again, Li Yuanfang saw that there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes, and he returned to his usual confident and wise attitude. He knew that he must have remembered something, and only heard Di Renjie say: "Yu'er, it's getting late today. You just rest in the wing room and keep your spirits up, there are still many things to do tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Li Yuanfang asked Li Yuanfang to put away the picture on the table, and said: "Tomorrow morning, we will go to visit Zuo Yuqian Wei General Li Kaigu." It's night, everyone goes to sleep by themselves without saying anything.
