Chapter 22 The Invisible Black Hand
In the Zichen Hall, Li Zhi sat upright on a large red painted chair, squinted his eyes, as if he was dreaming and waking up.
The elegant incense echoed in the hall, making the entire Zichen Hall look like a fairyland on earth.
Not far from Li Zhi's attack, there was also the Secretariat Li Yi Mansion standing.
The lowest step is Su Dawei who stands with his hands.
After Chen hour, Li Zhifang gave the morning court and ordered someone to summon Su Dawei.
"Su Dawei, what happened to that case?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak."
"Um?"
Li Zhi's half-closed eyes suddenly opened and a sharp light shot out from it.
Even the surging fog cannot be blocked.
At this moment, Su Dawei lowered his head slightly, and a terrible feeling of light on his back arose behind him.
Li Zhi's power is increasing day by day.
This is not the cowardly man of "wife Guanyan" in the legend.
But the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Tian Khan, and Emperor Li Zhi.
"Return to Your Majesty, I started with the identity of the assassinator and found that this person was a fugitive slave, which seemed to be related to the Wang family in Taiyuan. I advised the counselor Wang Maoshu's mansion..."
Su Dawei told the story of the escaped slave, Wang family, and Wang Shiqilang.
"After finding this, my clue was cut off, but later I found out that the fugitive had been to the dentist shop in the West City before, and Xu Qingwang, the traveling doctor of the dentist shop, confessed that he had a secret relationship with the Wang family's affairs.
But just as I was going to the dentist’s shop, the shop caught fire.”
"A fire?"
“That’s right.”
Su Dawei crossed his hands and said, "After I found this, all the clues were cut off, and I really couldn't continue to investigate, so I didn't find the murderer in this case... I hope Your Majesty will punish you."
After all, I was alone and took all the mistakes.
If Su Dawei could speak at this time, he would definitely say this.
Ming Chongyan said it well last night.
Even if Su Dawei really has evidence to point to Helan Minzhi.
But as long as Helan Minzhi bites him to death, it is his servant's own decision, and it is the fault of a dog slave.
Li Zhinian only scolded Wu Meiniang for her at most.
This matter was finally left alone.
And with this incident, Helan Minzhi had the weapons to alienate Su Dawei and Wu Mei in front of Wu Meiniang.
No matter how much Wu Meiniang trusts Su Dawei, there are differences in closeness and distantness. Helan Minzhi can run into the palace every day, but Su Dawei cannot.
The so-called three people become tigers.
If you say too much, Wu Meiniang will inevitably remain unshakable.
If the loss of Empress Wu’s support for such a thing, Su Dawei would lose the big one because of a small loss.
Because of such uncertainty, Su Dawei had to hold back even if he was unwilling to do so.
Before you have enough confidence to kill the enemy with one blow.
All he has to do is to endure, accumulate strength and find opportunities.
At the same time, confuse the enemy.
There is no other way.
The report on the case ended, and Su Dawei lowered his head and waited to welcome Li Zhi's reprimand.
Under normal circumstances, even if you pretend to behave, Li Zhi would have to scold him a few times before both sides could be considered as having a way out.
But it's not really a punishment.
After all, the victim of this case is Su Dawei. It would be very strange if Li Zhi severely punished Su Dawei because he could not solve the case.
But, unexpected things happened.
Su Dawei lowered his head and had not waited for Li Zhi's response for a long time.
He couldn't help but guess what Li Zhi was thinking.
Are you dissatisfied with his answer?
Or something else.
During the silence, Li Zhi's breathing sound came through the cigarette.
"Su Dawei, I have always treated you well. How dare you deceive the emperor."
This is quite heavy.
Su Dawei was shocked and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty calm down, I... I have reported it with truth and never dared to deceive Your Majesty."
"You can see these for yourself."
Li Zhi raised his index finger.
Li Yi's mansion went up, held a file on the table with both hands, walked down, and handed it to Su Dawei.
Su Dawei took it with his hands and glanced at Li Zhi.
In that direction, it was now covered by white mist, and I couldn't see Li Zhi's expression clearly.
Su Dawei lowered his head and opened the file.
After just one look, my body kept trembling.
What is recorded on this are many key events from his trial to last night.
Many things will never be known to outsiders.
Including the arrest of the fireman from Helanmin's mansion last night.
"This matter involves Helan. I know that you have your difficulties, but this is not a reason to deceive me."
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Su Dawei landed on both knees, held the ground with both hands, and touched the ground with his head.
The blood in my body seemed to freeze in an instant.
Who is the person with Li Zhi in Ducha Temple?
Who is most likely to participate last night?
What I said to Ming Chongyan was not recorded on the record. Did the person not know or did he not remember it?
At this moment, for the first time, he felt unfathomable about Li Zhi, as if he was in the abyss.
"This time, it is your crime of deceiving the king... However, I am not a heartless person. I will open my mind about your past achievements.
Originally, it would be fine to be named a Marquis for your merits, but now...
It’s better to practice for a few more years.”
"Thank you...thank you."
Su Dawei felt that the coldness behind him was soaked in cold sweat.
"Didn't you keep thinking about bad people?"
"Then I will punish you. Go back and continue to do your bad commander and Ducha Temple. You will still be bothered. If you deceive me again, you will be punished with multiple crimes."
"Mr., receive the order."
Su Dawei bowed heavily.
Li Zhi, it's so awesome.
This kind of kindness and power made Su Dawei almost unable to fight back.
Anyone who has this matter will be flattened and rounded by Li Zhi, and he has no temper.
I also want to thank Li Zhi for not killing him.
...
"Ship Su, please go slowly."
Su Dawei lowered his head and walked out of Zichen Hall, following the snow-white stone steps.
Suddenly I heard someone calling me behind my back.
When I turned around, I happened to see Li Yi Mansion waving his sleeves and strode towards him.
"Su Shuai feels frustrated? Young people, it's not a bad thing to suffer some setbacks, after all, the future is long."
Li Yifu walked up and patted Su Dawei on the shoulder: "I am still optimistic about you. I believe that Your Majesty is just angry for a moment. With Su Shuai's ability, he is in the heart of the emperor. It is not difficult for you to be granted a title of a Duke and a Marquis in the future."
If you don’t know Li Yifu’s character.
Knowing the "deeds" of Li Yifu in the past, Su Dawei is afraid that he will be moved by him now.
But don’t forget that Liu Rengui and Liu Renyuan were just a little bit of official friction and were beaten to death by Li Yifu.
He almost lost his life and kept putting on people's shoes.
This person in Li Yifu is not a famous scholar with glory and bright moon.
But a narrow-minded and cunning jester.
But such a person actually gave up every opportunity to give in and expressed encouragement to Su Dawei, who had shown hostility.
This is a strange thing.
"Zhongshuling, I actually have something unknown."
"What's the matter?"
Li Yifu accompanied Su Dawei and walked slowly forward.
Su Dawei turned around the corridor and looked at the Jinwu Guards who were not guarding the left and right. He looked up at Li Yifu, who smiled with a leisurely look on his face and said, "Actually, the Zhongshu Ling is more clear about that case than me."
"Ship Su, what does this mean?"
"Haha, with Zhongshuling's mind, I naturally understand."
Su Dawei smiled and bowed: "The Secretary of the Central Committee is busy with all kinds of things, so there is no need to give it away. I hope I have the opportunity to cooperate again."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, regardless of Li Yifu's face turned ashen.
Li Yi Mansion, what a Li Yi Mansion.
In Su Dawei's heart, countless thoughts were circling and finally gathered on this case.
From the outside, it was just a small assassination case, and it seemed that Helan Minzhi was attacking Su Dawei for his old grudges.
But that clumsy technique makes people wonder if he has any brains.
He actually found a fugitive slave who could not hurt Su Dawei at all.
Until last night, Su Dawei was trapped in this logic.
I can't figure out why Helan Minzhi did this.
Until, I suddenly remembered what Ming Chongyan said.
Helan Minzhi was persuaded to give up his thoughts and did not want to do such hopeless and meaningless things before he was not sure enough.
As they had assassinated Su Dawei, they knew Su Dawei's strength well.
I listened last night and felt that Ming Chongyan was passing the blame on Helan Minzhi.
But I thought about it later.
What if it is true?
If it was really Helan Minzhi's subordinates who did this secretly, would everything be more reasonable?
But why did that person do this?
What are the benefits behind doing this?
Su Dawei thought about it all night until he saw Li Zhi. Something suddenly became clear in his mind.
This is a bureau.
Li Yifu played some kind of disgraceful role in it.
The cleverness of this game is that Li Yifu has promoted it with one hand, but he will never get into any trouble.
First, Li Yifu pretended to Helan Minzhi and pointed out that Su Dawei was about to return to Beijing, and asked about Helan Minzhi's grudges and Su Dawei, secretly provoking them.
Then he revealed to Guo Xingzhen the conflict between Helan Minzhi and Su Dawei.
Guo Xingzhen was reminded by this and thought of a trick to kill someone by borrowing a knife.
He secretly bribed Helan Minzhi's ingenuity.
He designed the assassination of the escaped slave with his hand.
In this way, Su Dawei would inevitably be furious.
When this matter is finally found, Helan Minzhi will definitely find it on the head, becoming a sharp sword that stabbed Helan Minzhi.
Is there any evidence to support this analysis?
some.
The person who caught fire at the dentist's shop last night was the participant in the incident.
After overnight interrogation, before dawn, he revealed that Li Yifu had mentioned to Helan Minzhi that Su Dawei wanted to return to Beijing.
Later, Guo Xingzhen was secretly in contact with him.
After receiving this confession, Su Dawei suspected that all this was actually led by Li Yifu.
I just haven't figured out what the purpose of Li Yifu doing this?
Do you have a grudge against Helan Minzhi or do you want to suppress Guo Xingzhen?
These questions were finally understood until just now, when in front of Li Zhi.
Li Yifu used open conspiracy, and the purpose was not to kill Helan Minzhi or Guo Xingzhen, but to suppress and weaken both.
With this handle, how to punish it depends on Li Zhi's thoughts.
This matter may not be what Li Yifu meant.
