The two of them held their breath and looked at Gongsun Miaoran nervously.
Gongsun Miaoran stopped there and said, "A horse got scared over there on the polo field."
When Wang Ren saw him like this, an idea flashed through his mind. As soon as the thought came to his mind, he raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Miaoran in surprise.
The military supervisor was mobilized and the horses were startled on the polo field. If it was someone else, why would Gongsun Miaoran be so cautious and not dare to speak out? This person can only be His Majesty.
Wang Ren said: "What do you mean...?"
Gongsun Miaoran nodded.
It turned out to be His Majesty. This is no small matter. It is impossible that it was done by the Crown Prince. This is too petty a trick.
Since Taoist Li said he had figured it out, the person who took action would not be the prince.
Who is it?
Or an accident?
Li Le was only slightly puzzled. The horses were startled in the horse farm, and then what? The two in front of him were like riddlers, and they were halfway through their sentences. It couldn't be that the emperor was unlucky, fell off his horse, and was trampled by the horse...
It is unlucky to have this happen on your birthday, and it is also a disaster for horse owners.
Is this what he calculated?
Compared to the Prince's Palace Incident, it didn't seem like a big deal. With a big explosion happening in the past, this incident seemed too ordinary. Unless, the horse frightening incident was not an accident, but a human one.
Li Le took advantage of the fact that the two men didn't see him, put his hands in his sleeves, and calculated secretly. He wanted to figure out whether this was an accident or man-made.
After Li Lezhi figured it out, even though he had this thought, he couldn't help but feel frightened. If he calculated correctly, the horse was frightened by human beings.
So who took action?
Prince? www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
It shouldn't be the crown prince. The crown prince is the heir to the throne. If he really wants to seize the throne, why would he do something that has no 100% chance of success, such as killing the emperor?
Why did Wang Ren recall that the crown prince was going to coup? Did he really miscalculate the crown prince's coup?
So how much of the artificiality he calculated now is true?
Li Lezhi: …
He is starting to become bald. Fortunately, this important matter will not be assigned to him for fortune-telling. If it were really assigned to him, with his fortune-telling skills which are sometimes effective and sometimes not, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives because of this.
Fortunately, there are still national players. With that group of national players taking action, this matter will be resolved quickly, and he will also know whether his calculations are accurate.
Li Le just felt relieved, and then he saw the two people in front of him looking at him, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.
Li Le didn't dare to say anything, so he pretended that he didn't know about it and kept silent.
Not getting any results from him, Wang Ren and Gongsun Miaoran looked at each other, and Wang Ren said, "Let's go and take a look???[(.)]???????????"
Gongsun Miaoran nodded, "Okay."
The three of them walked out of the palace together. Although all the palace gates were strictly guarded by the military supervisors, Gongsun Miaoran and his companions were not heading towards the palace gates, so the military supervisors did not stop them.
When they arrived at the polo field, they saw a crowd of people there. No one looked happy, and some even looked a little panicked.
With such a big incident happening, all the palace servants were worried that they would be implicated and lose their lives.
And the horse was shot dead on the polo field. Li Le only saw this scene. Then, looking at the military supervisors surrounding the polo field, he once again felt how difficult it was to survive in ancient times.
If he wanted to survive in this place, he not only had to make himself valuable, but also had to have someone behind him to protect him. Otherwise, as a small Taoist priest, he would be treated as a pawn. Even if he had calculated it, his life and death would still depend on the emperor's decision.
Not only the emperor, but also the princes and nobles could easily take his life.
He was able to survive by pretending to be a liar, so he pretended to be a big shot. After being exposed by Gongsun Miaoran, he successfully obtained the documents with the help of County Magistrate Hu, and was able to report to the Chongxuan Office and become a recorded Taoist priest.
This also allowed him to avoid a lot of difficulties, but afterwards, Li Le only looked in the direction of Gongsun Miaoran. Was he going to join the prince in the future?
If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will be the next emperor, so it is necessary to establish good relations in advance.
Li Le thought a lot, and after he left the palace and returned home, he was still thinking about this matter and couldn't make a decision.
Logically, he should stand on the side of the emperor, but he can't get in touch with him now. The only person he can get in touch with is Gongsun Miaoran. It is very difficult for him to establish a relationship with the prince. If he stands on the side of the prince, he will offend other princes.
He cannot have irreplaceable value, and even if he surrenders to the prince, he is just an insignificant pawn.
Li Le only told the fortune for himself. He didn't tell anything else. He just told the fortune about who will ascend the throne in the future.
Zhao Cong.
After Li Le figured out this result, he fell silent. He really didn't know what the names of those princes were.
It is not certain that he can figure out the prince's name. Only after he has met the prince can he be 100% sure.
Since he has calculated the future emperor, he can just curry favor with him later. Now he should just go to bed as he has to go on duty tomorrow. He doesn’t know what the outcome of the frightened horse incident will be.
The next day, when Li Lezhi went to work, he saw the people in the Ministry of Justice busying around and knew that they were still conducting a thorough investigation.
Li Le was just surprised. If he didn't let the national expert calculate this kind of thing, wouldn't it be quicker to find out if he did?
After seeing Li Lezhi, the doctor thought of the divinations Li Lezhi had done and felt that he was truly an expert who could even predict that bad things would happen on July 15th. It was likely that Taoist Li would know at that time that the horse would be frightened.
The doctor of the Bibu Department was even more frightened when he thought about this. If His Majesty knew that he knew about it and did not report it, his life would be in danger. Fortunately, only he and Taoist Li knew about this, so His Majesty was not in any danger.
Otherwise, he really couldn't eat or sleep well.
Every day I wonder if I will be thrown into the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice came forward and whispered, "Master Li, you are finally here. The people from the Ministry of Justice are waiting for you."
"Huh?" Li Le was just confused.
"It has been found that the incident that happened in the palace yesterday was man-made. The horse was drugged. However, the Ministry of Justice has not yet found out who drugged it. They are very worried. All the people in the Imperial Horse Bureau are imprisoned, waiting to find the murderer. Okay..."
The doctor wiped his neck.
Li Le just understood that his calculation yesterday was correct. He asked: "How did the medicine get into the palace?"
"This matter is still under investigation, but the military supervisor who was guarding the gate yesterday was led by Lord Wang. Lord Wang is also investigating the military supervisor thoroughly, trying to find out who let the person into the palace. Even the Imperial Medical Bureau was thoroughly investigated, but the source of the medicine was not found. The eunuchs in the palace also searched thoroughly, but found nothing."
"Can't find the source of the medicine?"
This is impossible. Given the strict security of the imperial palace, it is not easy to hide the medicine. Unless the person left the palace after administering the medicine, then how did the medicine get into the palace?
"Will it count if we don't invite the Taoist priest?" When it comes to the emperor, those national masters will always take action.
"Well, I don't know either," the doctor looked at Li Le and said, "Master Li, you are the only one in the Ministry of Justice who can do this."
so?
The so-called seeking help from a Taoist priest, but ended up finding fault with him?
Hongluguan
The envoys from Jin State are staying here. Ever since Emperor Zhao fell off his horse due to fright at the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the prince of Jin State has not slept all night.
Listening to the noise outside, he looked at the woman in his room who was disguised as a maid of the embassy and asked, "How did you do it yesterday?"
"Your Highness, please don't be too curious. I have my own way. But you guys, please don't expose yourself."
Prince Jinguo frowned, looking thoughtful. Originally, they wanted to send the person and the treasure into the palace together, and then have the girl disguise herself as a beastmaster and borrow the power of the big cat to harm the life of Emperor Zhao.
However, as the Qianqiu era approached, the guards at the Imperial Palace became tighter, and it was not easy for them to sneak someone in. Fortunately, this person was good at disguise and was able to disguise himself as a female messenger in his delegation.
Only then can you sneak into the Qianqiu Banquet.
But he didn't know what this man did later. He just didn't expect that the assassin sent by Zhao State to assassinate Emperor Zhao would scare the horse and trample Emperor Zhao to death.
It's too much of a joke.
The prince of Jin State asked doubtfully, "Are you really the leader of the Hidden Assassination?"
"..." The man said, "You guys leaked the news. There is nothing we can do about it. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan saving the emperor, if the emperor Zhao was trampled by the horse's hooves yesterday, he would have been seriously injured and his internal organs would have been shattered. How could he have survived?"
"It's impossible that we leaked the news," Prince Jinguo seemed to have thought of something. His face darkened and he said, "Leave the Hongluguan immediately. I don't care where you go, but don't let the people of Daliang find out that you are here."
"Don't worry, they can't find out. Those priests have some means, but if they want to arrest you without evidence, they will lose face. What's more, can any of them figure out that it was me who did it, and can they also figure out your Jin Kingdom?"
"Those people yesterday were Taoist priests who passed through Daliang. They are nothing to worry about. Besides, the Taoist priest who calculated the flood has been killed by our people."
After hearing this, Prince Jin put aside his worries, but he always felt that this matter was not that simple.
His intuition told him that if he didn't leave Daliang as soon as possible, he might not have the chance to leave in the future.
Prince Jin State glanced at the woman behind him. She was from Zhao State. If they drove her out now, it would expose that there was something fishy going on in Jin State. He could only comfort himself that nothing would happen.
Just get through this period of wind.
They had calculated everything, even knew how far the Taoist priest of Daliang could predict, but the information was incomplete after all, and they didn't know that Li Lezhi already existed in Daliang.
They also wanted to leave Daliang as soon as the news passed.
Li Le only went to the Ministry of Justice and saw officials of all ranks who were detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison. He heard that some people were also detained in the Dali Temple. What he saw was not all.
After sighing for a while, Li Le began to calculate whether the people in the Imperial Stables Bureau were hiding the murderer, but in the end he found that there was no murderer.
He told the result to Minister Zhou, and then calculated who had drugged her, and found out it was a woman named Fu Zhi.
As soon as this name came out, Minister Zhou immediately sent people to check whether there was any prisoner named Fu Zhi among them.
After a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple did not find any woman named Fu Zhi. Although Minister Zhou knew Li Lezhi's ability, this matter was very serious, so he had to report it to Minister Yang.
Yang Wenjing also knew Li Le's ability. After stroking his beard, he finally told the matter to the right prime minister Gongsun Gu.
Gongsun Gu learned that it was Taoist Li who came up with the idea of thoroughly investigating a girl named Fu Zhi.
The prince of Jin State also knew this news. After he informed the leader of Yinsha about it, he asked, "Your name is Fuzhi?"
Fu Zhi was shocked, stood up and said, "Impossible."
How could the people from Daliang find out her name? Not many people knew her name. Could it be that someone in Zhaoguo's Hidden Killing Guard betrayed her?
There was a flash of murderous intent in Fu Zhi's eyes. Her identity had been exposed. The person who betrayed her might not want her to go back alive. Or, the moment she accepted the mission to assassinate Emperor Zhao, someone tipped off the people in Daliang.
Therefore, the people of Daliang would guard strictly at the Qianqiu Banquet. If she had not found an opportunity, there would be no way to hurt Emperor Zhao.
She wanted to take this news back to Zhaoguo.
Let Your Majesty thoroughly investigate the traitors who betrayed Zhaoguo.
Fu Zhi said, "You arrange for someone to cover me. I will leave as soon as possible while they are still not paying attention to the Honglu Hall. I will definitely tell His Majesty about your help to my Zhao State. When Zhao State conquers Daliang in the future, your Jin State will definitely benefit from it."
"They are investigating thoroughly now. I will help you if they find out that you are from Jin State." The prince of Jin State hesitated and said, "You are very good at disguising yourself. They won't find out that you are Fu Zhi. Why don't you wait until we return to the country and leave together?"
Fu Zhi: “No need.”
The person who betrayed her would definitely tell her about the alliance between Zhao and Jin. If she continued to sit there and wait for death, she would only be caught by Daliang.
Previously, he stayed in the Jin State delegation and came to the Honglu Pavilion to avoid search. Now it is not easy to get out.
Before Fu Zhi could find a way to leave, the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded by military supervisors, and not even a fly could fly out.
This was a good opportunity for the military supervisors to redeem themselves from their crimes and make meritorious contributions. No one dared to neglect his duty and wanted to receive the fifty military sticks.
Fu Zhi was shocked when she learned that the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded. Sure enough, the person who betrayed her also sold the news of Jin State to Daliang. Now it was not easy for her to leave.
Fu Zhi thought of the maid she replaced. After speaking to Prince Jin, she disguised herself as a eunuch beside Prince Jin and changed into the eunuch's clothes.
And that female servant was Fu Zhi.
When the maid was captured, Fu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. This maid was bought from the Daliang agent after Jin Guo came to Daliang. The prince of Jin Guo used her as a maid to cover up for her.
Now, the people from Daliang have captured the people from Daliang, and that person has become her scapegoat. Once this matter is settled, she will be able to escape and return to Zhao State.
When the maid was caught, she said, "Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
The military supervisor who took her away said nothing but took her to the Ministry of Justice. When Yang Wenjing learned that the woman named Fu Zhi was arrested, he looked at the weak girl in front of him and could not imagine that this was someone who would assassinate His Majesty in the palace.
Don't judge a person by appearance. The seemingly weak ones are just disguises of these killers. Yang Wenjing asked, "Are you Fu Zhi?"
The maid cried, "Sir, I am not a talisman. I am innocent. Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
"He is facing death but still refuses to repent," said the Chief Censor.
Wang Rendao: "From your accent, you are from Hangzhou?"
"Yes, sir," the maid said, "I came from Hangzhou, but I was cheated of all my money on the way here, and finally I was cheated by the people in the pimp's office. I was about to be scolded and sent to a brothel when someone rescued me."
Wang Ren said, "Go ask the military supervisor guarding the gate to come and identify the man."
After a while, the military supervisor came over and Wang Ren asked, "Do you remember this face?"
The military supervisor said, "Remember, this man entered the palace with the envoys."
After hearing this, the maid immediately said, "Sir, I have never been to the palace. I have always stayed in the room and have never been anywhere else."
Hearing her crying, Yang Wenjing frowned and asked, "You said you stayed in the room the whole time?"
The maid nodded repeatedly.
"The young master who bought me never summoned me. He just asked me to stay in my room. I really never entered the palace."
"This is a strange thing. Why don't we ask Taoist Li to come and calculate it?"
The Chief Censor raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Ren, and was somewhat curious about the Taoist Master Li he mentioned.
I heard that after this Taoist priest Li came to the Ministry of Justice, he helped the ministry solve many cases. Even the name Fu Zhi was calculated by that Taoist priest.
Fu Zhi was not found inside or outside the palace, and the Ministry of Justice suddenly said that Fu Zhi was hiding in the Honglu Pavilion.
The person who could make the Ministry of Justice say this must be that Taoist Priest Li.
Could that person really have calculated to such an extent? Or was this the Ministry of Justice trying to build momentum for him, hoping to use this opportunity to get the Taoist priest into the worship hall, so that in the future, they could use the Taoist priest's reputation to detain people even if there was insufficient evidence.
If this is true, the Ministry of Justice is really planning a big game, hoping to use this Taoist priest to suppress the two departments. I don't know if this is Yang Wenjing's plan.
If it really comes to that, there will be no need for the Dali Temple and the Censorate, as his Ministry of Justice will have absolute power.
After thinking this, the Chief Censor became wary of Li Le.
It would be fine if the Taoist Li had real ability, but if not, he would risk his life to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Justice.
But the Chief Censor didn't understand that what he could see, the young marquis might also be able to see.
Since the young marquis wanted to ask the Taoist priest to come and do a fortune-telling, did he want to see his abilities or did he really believe that the Taoist priest had real abilities? Or maybe the Taoist priest was not who he thought he was?
The Chief Censor said, "Even Lord Wang believes in Taoist Li's ability. I am a little curious."
Wang Ren looked at the old face of the Chief Censor, curled his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Li has already calculated the talisman, why not let Master Li continue to calculate, so that this case can be resolved."
He looked as if he wanted to wrap up the case in a hurry.
Yang Wenjing frowned and said, "Young Marquis is dissatisfied."
Wang Ren immediately said seriously: "Old Yang, please don't harm me. How could I not believe in Taoist Li's ability? Taoist Li is here with me, but this."
He raised his thumb to let others know what he thought, but with his nonchalant look, it seemed like he was mocking others.
The Chief Censor could not tell whether the young marquis was praising the Taoist priest Li or satirizing the Ministry of Justice for listening to the decision of a Taoist priest even in such a case.
After Li Lezhi arrived, he looked at the three people with serious faces, two of whom he was familiar with. He nodded to them and stood quietly aside.
Only then did Wang Ren remember that he was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. If someone exposed him as the Minister of the Dali Temple, what if Taoist Li didn't like someone deceiving him?
Then he would be in danger.
The Chief Censor looked at Li Lezhi, the Taoist priest working in the Ministry of Justice. He was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe. He was a handsome man with an elegant appearance. If he took part in the imperial examination, he would definitely be the third place in the imperial examination that year.
The most rare thing is this man's temperament, which is ethereal and as if he is a banished immortal reborn. With his appearance and demeanor, even if he does not have much skill, just based on his appearance, people would think he is a master who has practiced Taoism for many years.
It’s just that he is very young, so people can’t be convinced that he has real ability. Instead, people would think he is a charlatan who is deliberately disguising himself.
Even he had some doubts about whether this Taoist Li had real abilities or was just pretending.
It is rare among Taoists and also rare among ordinary people. When the real is also fake, the fake is also real, who can tell the real from the fake?
The Imperial Censor said, "Master Li, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to calculate whether this girl in front of you is a talisman."
He was very curious about how this Taoist Priest Li calculated. However, when Li Le only took out the tortoise shell for calculation, the Chief Censor's eyes were confused. This Taoist Priest Li, who seemed to have extraordinary Taoist skills, actually also needed to use tortoise shells?
Could it be that people as powerful as them couldn't just calculate it, or just take a glance and know the result?
Or maybe he was wrong. The Taoist Priest Li in front of him was just extraordinary in bearing, and his ability was just that of an ordinary Taoist priest.
Yes, if he was really a powerful Taoist priest, he would not be working in the Ministry of Justice. He should have entered Xuanyang Palace to practice Taoism and go to the Worship Hall.
After the Chief Censor figured it out, he became much less interested in Li Lezhi and just sat there, waiting for the result.
When Wang Ren and Yang Wenjing saw Taoist Li take out the tortoise shell, they both looked puzzled. Taoist Li has always been simple and could get the answer directly through calculation, so why did he use the tortoise shell today?
Wang Ren thought more about it. Was it because he almost exposed the Taoist priest's identity before, and the Taoist priest used the tortoise shell disguise to cover it up?
No matter how they guessed, Li Le just took out the tortoise shell and threw it twice. This time he did not use fortune-telling, but tried to see what result he could get with the tortoise shell. Then, he calculated nothing and got no result.
Even though he knew this, Li Lezhi was still a little discouraged. After studying for so long, he still couldn't master it, so he had to use calculations again.
Li Le just said: "It's not her."
When the girl's name was calculated, two results appeared. Li Le could only guess that the girl must have changed her name, which happened to be Fuzhi, and was arrested by the military supervisor as a murderer.
"Where was the person caught?" Li Le just asked.
Wang Ren said, "We caught him in the Honglu Hall." He waved his hand, and the clerk came up to him. Wang Ren said, "Go and ask the military supervisor who caught him to come in."
The military supervisor walked in.
Wang Ren asked, "Are there any other female servants in the Hongluguan?"
The military supervisor said, "No."
"Really?" Wang Ren stopped smiling and asked seriously.
The military supervisor nodded.
After the military supervisor nodded, Wang Ren immediately stood up and asked, "Has anyone left the Hongluguan?"
Supervisor: “No.”
That was really strange. The people from the Honglu Pavilion had not left, but Taoist Li calculated that the murderer was in the Honglu Pavilion, and there was only a girl named Fu Zhi in the Honglu Pavilion.
Where did the murderer go?
The Imperial Censor said, "Could it be that the Taoist priest made a mistake in his calculations? The person is not in the Honglu Pavilion, and his name is not even Fuzhi. Or maybe this girl is the murderer."
The maid then realized that she was considered the murderer and immediately shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's really not me. I have never entered the palace, and I have never killed anyone."
The author has something to say
Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: Pluto, Mowei 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The two of them held their breath and looked at Gongsun Miaoran nervously.
?Want to read Chapter 64 of "The Ordinary Me Respected as the National Master" written by Fengchui Lin An? The murderer is not her? Please remember the domain name [(.)]?5?%?%??
Gongsun Miaoran stopped there and said, "There's a frightened horse on the polo field."
Wang Ren looked at him like this, and an idea flashed through his mind. As soon as the idea came to his mind, he looked up at Gongsun Miaoran in surprise.
The military supervisor was mobilized, and the horses were startled on the polo field. If it was someone else, why would Gongsun Miaoran be so cautious and dare not speak out? This person can only be His Majesty. ?
Wang Ren said: "You mean..."
Gongsun Miaoran nodded.
It turned out to be His Majesty. This is no small matter. It is impossible that it was done by the Crown Prince. This is too petty a trick.

Hongluguan
The envoys from Jin State are staying here. Ever since Emperor Zhao fell off his horse due to fright at the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the prince of Jin State has not slept all night.
Listening to the noise outside, he looked at the woman in his room who was disguised as a maid of the embassy and asked, "How did you do it yesterday?"
"Your Highness, please don't be too curious. I have my own way. But you guys, please don't expose yourself."
Prince Jinguo frowned, looking thoughtful. Originally, they wanted to send the person and the treasure into the palace together, and then have the girl disguise herself as a beastmaster and borrow the power of the big cat to harm the life of Emperor Zhao.
However, as the Qianqiu era approached, the guards at the Imperial Palace became tighter, and it was not easy for them to sneak someone in. Fortunately, this person was good at disguise and was able to disguise himself as a female messenger in his delegation.
Only then can you sneak into the Qianqiu Banquet.
But he didn't know what this man did later. He just didn't expect that the assassin sent by Zhao State to assassinate Emperor Zhao would scare the horse and trample Emperor Zhao to death.
It's too much of a joke.
The prince of Jin State asked doubtfully, "Are you really the leader of the Hidden Assassination?"
"..." The man said, "You guys leaked the news. There is nothing we can do about it. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan saving the emperor, if the emperor Zhao was trampled by the horse's hooves yesterday, he would have been seriously injured and his internal organs would have been shattered. How could he have survived?"
"It's impossible that we leaked the news," Prince Jinguo seemed to have thought of something. His face darkened and he said, "Leave the Hongluguan immediately. I don't care where you go, but don't let the people of Daliang find out that you are here."
"Don't worry, they can't find out. Those priests have some means, but if they want to arrest you without evidence, they will lose face. What's more, can any of them figure out that it was me who did it, and can they also figure out your Jin Kingdom?"
"Those people yesterday were Taoist priests who passed through Daliang. They are nothing to worry about. Besides, the Taoist priest who calculated the flood has been killed by our people."
After hearing this, Prince Jin put aside his worries, but he always felt that this matter was not that simple.
His intuition told him that if he didn't leave Daliang as soon as possible, he might not have the chance to leave in the future.
Prince Jin State glanced at the woman behind him. She was from Zhao State. If they drove her out now, it would expose that there was something fishy going on in Jin State. He could only comfort himself that nothing would happen.
Just get through this period of wind.
They had calculated everything, even knew how far the Taoist priest of Daliang could predict, but the information was incomplete after all, and they didn't know that Li Lezhi already existed in Daliang.
They also wanted to leave Daliang as soon as the news passed.
Li Le only went to the Ministry of Justice and saw officials of all ranks who were detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison. He heard that some people were also detained in the Dali Temple. What he saw was not all.
After sighing for a while, Li Le began to calculate whether the people in the Imperial Stables Bureau were hiding the murderer, but in the end he found that there was no murderer.
He told the result to Minister Zhou, and then calculated who had drugged her, and found out it was a woman named Fu Zhi.
As soon as this name came out, Minister Zhou immediately sent people to check whether there was any prisoner named Fu Zhi among them.
After a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple did not find any woman named Fu Zhi. Although Minister Zhou knew Li Lezhi's ability, this matter was very serious, so he had to report it to Minister Yang.
Yang Wenjing also knew Li Le's ability. After stroking his beard, he finally told the matter to the right prime minister Gongsun Gu.
Gongsun Gu learned that it was Taoist Li who came up with the idea of thoroughly investigating a girl named Fu Zhi.
The prince of Jin State also knew this news. After he informed the leader of Yinsha about it, he asked, "Your name is Fuzhi?"
Fu Zhi was shocked, stood up and said, "Impossible."
How could the people from Daliang find out her name? Not many people knew her name. Could it be that someone in Zhaoguo's Hidden Killing Guard betrayed her?
There was a flash of murderous intent in Fu Zhi's eyes. Her identity had been exposed. The person who betrayed her might not want her to go back alive. Or, the moment she accepted the mission to assassinate Emperor Zhao, someone tipped off the people in Daliang.
Therefore, the people of Daliang would guard strictly at the Qianqiu Banquet. If she had not found an opportunity, there would be no way to hurt Emperor Zhao.
She wanted to take this news back to Zhaoguo.
Let Your Majesty thoroughly investigate the traitors who betrayed Zhaoguo.
Fu Zhi said, "You arrange for someone to cover me. I will leave as soon as possible while they are still not paying attention to the Honglu Hall. I will definitely tell His Majesty about your help to my Zhao State. When Zhao State conquers Daliang in the future, your Jin State will definitely benefit from it."
"They are investigating thoroughly now. I will help you if they find out that you are from Jin State." The prince of Jin State hesitated and said, "You are very good at disguising yourself. They won't find out that you are Fu Zhi. Why don't you wait until we return to the country and leave together?"
Fu Zhi: “No need.”
The person who betrayed her would definitely tell her about the alliance between Zhao and Jin. If she continued to sit there and wait for death, she would only be caught by Daliang.
Previously, he stayed in the Jin State delegation and came to the Honglu Pavilion to avoid search. Now it is not easy to get out.
Before Fu Zhi could find a way to leave, the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded by military supervisors, and not even a fly could fly out.
This was a good opportunity for the military supervisors to redeem themselves from their crimes and make meritorious contributions. No one dared to neglect his duty and wanted to receive the fifty military sticks.
Fu Zhi was shocked when she learned that the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded. Sure enough, the person who betrayed her also sold the news of Jin State to Daliang. Now it was not easy for her to leave.
Fu Zhi thought of the maid she replaced. After speaking to Prince Jin, she disguised herself as a eunuch beside Prince Jin and changed into the eunuch's clothes.
And that female servant was Fu Zhi.
When the maid was captured, Fu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. This maid was bought from the Daliang agent after Jin Guo came to Daliang. The prince of Jin Guo used her as a maid to cover up for her.
Now, the people from Daliang have captured the people from Daliang, and that person has become her scapegoat. Once this matter is settled, she will be able to escape and return to Zhao State.
When the maid was caught, she said, "Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
The military supervisor who took her away said nothing but took her to the Ministry of Justice. When Yang Wenjing learned that the woman named Fu Zhi was arrested, he looked at the weak girl in front of him and could not imagine that this was someone who would assassinate His Majesty in the palace.
Don't judge a person by appearance. The seemingly weak ones are just disguises of these killers. Yang Wenjing asked, "Are you Fu Zhi?"
The maid cried, "Sir, I am not a talisman. I am innocent. Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
"He is facing death but still refuses to repent," said the Chief Censor.
Wang Rendao: "From your accent, you are from Hangzhou?"
"Yes, sir," the maid said, "I came from Hangzhou, but I was cheated of all my money on the way here, and finally I was cheated by the people in the pimp's office. I was about to be scolded and sent to a brothel when someone rescued me."
Wang Ren said, "Go ask the military supervisor guarding the gate to come and identify the man."
After a while, the military supervisor came over and Wang Ren asked, "Do you remember this face?"
The military supervisor said, "Remember, this man entered the palace with the envoys."
After hearing this, the maid immediately said, "Sir, I have never been to the palace. I have always stayed in the room and have never been anywhere else."
Hearing her crying, Yang Wenjing frowned and asked, "You said you stayed in the room the whole time?"
The maid nodded repeatedly.
"The young master who bought me never summoned me. He just asked me to stay in my room. I really never entered the palace."
"This is a strange thing. Why don't we ask Taoist Li to come and calculate it?"
The Chief Censor raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Ren, and was somewhat curious about the Taoist Master Li he mentioned.
I heard that after this Taoist priest Li came to the Ministry of Justice, he helped the ministry solve many cases. Even the name Fu Zhi was calculated by that Taoist priest.
Fu Zhi was not found inside or outside the palace, and the Ministry of Justice suddenly said that Fu Zhi was hiding in the Honglu Pavilion.
The person who could make the Ministry of Justice say this must be that Taoist Priest Li.
Could that person really have calculated to such an extent? Or was this the Ministry of Justice trying to build momentum for him, hoping to use this opportunity to get the Taoist priest into the worship hall, so that in the future, they could use the Taoist priest's reputation to detain people even if there was insufficient evidence.
If this is true, the Ministry of Justice is really planning a big game, hoping to use this Taoist priest to suppress the two departments. I don't know if this is Yang Wenjing's plan.
If it really comes to that, there will be no need for the Dali Temple and the Censorate, as his Ministry of Justice will have absolute power.
After thinking this, the Chief Censor became wary of Li Le.
It would be fine if the Taoist Li had real ability, but if not, he would risk his life to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Justice.
But the Chief Censor didn't understand that what he could see, the young marquis might also be able to see.
Since the young marquis wanted to ask the Taoist priest to come and do a fortune-telling, did he want to see his abilities or did he really believe that the Taoist priest had real abilities? Or maybe the Taoist priest was not who he thought he was?
The Chief Censor said, "Even Lord Wang believes in Taoist Li's ability. I am a little curious."
Wang Ren looked at the old face of the Chief Censor, curled his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Li has already calculated the talisman, why not let Master Li continue to calculate, so that this case can be resolved."
He looked as if he wanted to wrap up the case in a hurry.
Yang Wenjing frowned and said, "Young Marquis is dissatisfied."
Wang Ren immediately said seriously: "Old Yang, please don't harm me. How could I not believe in Taoist Li's ability? Taoist Li is here with me, but this."
He raised his thumb to let others know what he thought, but with his nonchalant look, it seemed like he was mocking others.
The Chief Censor could not tell whether the young marquis was praising the Taoist priest Li or satirizing the Ministry of Justice for listening to the decision of a Taoist priest even in such a case.
After Li Lezhi arrived, he looked at the three people with serious faces, two of whom he was familiar with. He nodded to them and stood quietly aside.
Only then did Wang Ren remember that he was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. If someone exposed him as the Minister of the Dali Temple, what if Taoist Li didn't like someone deceiving him?
Then he would be in danger.
The Chief Censor looked at Li Lezhi, the Taoist priest working in the Ministry of Justice. He was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe. He was a handsome man with an elegant appearance. If he took part in the imperial examination, he would definitely be the third place in the imperial examination that year.
The most rare thing is this man's temperament, which is ethereal and as if he is a banished immortal reborn. With his appearance and demeanor, even if he does not have much skill, just based on his appearance, people would think he is a master who has practiced Taoism for many years.
It’s just that he is very young, so people can’t be convinced that he has real ability. Instead, people would think he is a charlatan who is deliberately disguising himself.
Even he had some doubts about whether this Taoist Li had real abilities or was just pretending.
It is rare among Taoists and also rare among ordinary people. When the real is also fake, the fake is also real, who can tell the real from the fake?
The Imperial Censor said, "Master Li, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to calculate whether this girl in front of you is a talisman."
He was very curious about how this Taoist Priest Li calculated. However, when Li Le only took out the tortoise shell for calculation, the Chief Censor's eyes were confused. This Taoist Priest Li, who seemed to have extraordinary Taoist skills, actually also needed to use tortoise shells?
Could it be that people as powerful as them couldn't just calculate it, or just take a glance and know the result?
Or maybe he was wrong. The Taoist Priest Li in front of him was just extraordinary in bearing, and his ability was just that of an ordinary Taoist priest.
Yes, if he was really a powerful Taoist priest, he would not be working in the Ministry of Justice. He should have entered Xuanyang Palace to practice Taoism and go to the Worship Hall.
After the Chief Censor figured it out, he became much less interested in Li Lezhi and just sat there, waiting for the result.
When Wang Ren and Yang Wenjing saw Taoist Li take out the tortoise shell, they both looked puzzled. Taoist Li has always been simple and could get the answer directly through calculation, so why did he use the tortoise shell today?
Wang Ren thought more about it. Was it because he almost exposed the Taoist priest's identity before, and the Taoist priest used the tortoise shell disguise to cover it up?
No matter how they guessed, Li Le just took out the tortoise shell and threw it twice. This time he did not use fortune-telling, but tried to see what result he could get with the tortoise shell. Then, he calculated nothing and got no result.
Even though he knew this, Li Lezhi was still a little discouraged. After studying for so long, he still couldn't master it, so he had to use calculations again.
Li Le just said: "It's not her."
When the girl's name was calculated, two results appeared. Li Le could only guess that the girl must have changed her name, which happened to be Fuzhi, and was arrested by the military supervisor as a murderer.
"Where was the person caught?" Li Le just asked.
Wang Ren said, "We caught him in the Honglu Hall." He waved his hand, and the clerk came up to him. Wang Ren said, "Go and ask the military supervisor who caught him to come in."
The military supervisor walked in.
Wang Ren asked, "Are there any other female servants in the Hongluguan?"
The military supervisor said, "No."
"Really?" Wang Ren stopped smiling and asked seriously.
The military supervisor nodded.
After the military supervisor nodded, Wang Ren immediately stood up and asked, "Has anyone left the Hongluguan?"
Supervisor: “No.”
That was really strange. The people from the Honglu Pavilion had not left, but Taoist Li calculated that the murderer was in the Honglu Pavilion, and there was only a girl named Fu Zhi in the Honglu Pavilion.
Where did the murderer go?
The Imperial Censor said, "Could it be that the Taoist priest made a mistake in his calculations? The person is not in the Honglu Pavilion, and his name is not even Fuzhi. Or maybe this girl is the murderer."
The maid then realized that she was considered the murderer and immediately shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's really not me. I have never entered the palace, and I have never killed anyone."
The author has something to say
Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: Pluto, Mowei 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The two of them held their breath and looked at Gongsun Miaoran nervously. ?
Gongsun Miaoran stopped there and said, "There's a frightened horse on the polo field."
When Wang Ren saw him like this, an idea flashed through his mind. As soon as the thought came to his mind, he raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Miaoran in surprise.
?The author Feng Chui Lin An reminds you that "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as the National Master" will update the latest chapters in .? as soon as possible, remember [(.)]_?_??
The military supervisor was mobilized, and the horses were startled on the polo field. If it was someone else, why would Gongsun Miaoran be so cautious and dare not speak out? This person can only be His Majesty. ?
Wang Ren said: "You mean..."
Gongsun Miaoran nodded.
It turned out to be His Majesty. This is no small matter. It is impossible that it was done by the Crown Prince. This is too petty a trick.
Since Taoist Li said he had figured it out, the person who took action would not be the prince.
Who is it?
Or an accident?
Li Le was only slightly puzzled. The horses were startled in the horse farm, and then what? The two in front of him were like riddlers, and they were halfway through their sentences. It couldn't be that the emperor was unlucky, fell off his horse, and was trampled by the horse...
It is unlucky to have this happen on your birthday, and it is also a disaster for horse owners.
Is this what he calculated?
Compared to the Prince's Palace Incident, it didn't seem like a big deal. With a big explosion happening in the past, this incident seemed too ordinary. Unless, the horse frightening incident was not an accident, but a human one.
Li Le took advantage of the fact that the two men didn't see him, put his hands in his sleeves, and calculated secretly. He wanted to figure out whether this was an accident or man-made.
After Li Lezhi figured it out, even though he had this thought, he couldn't help but feel frightened. If he calculated correctly, the horse was frightened by human beings.
So who took action?
Prince?
It shouldn't be the crown prince. The crown prince is the heir to the throne. If he really wants to seize the throne, why would he do something that has no 100% chance of success, such as killing the emperor?
Why did Wang Ren recall that the crown prince was going to coup? Did he really miscalculate the crown prince's coup?
So how much of the artificiality he calculated now is true?
Li Lezhi: …
He is starting to become bald. Fortunately, this important matter will not be assigned to him for fortune-telling. If it were really assigned to him, with his fortune-telling skills which are sometimes effective and sometimes not, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives because of this.
Fortunately, there are still national players. With that group of national players taking action, this matter will be resolved quickly, and he will also know whether his calculations are accurate.
Li Le just felt relieved, and then he saw the two people in front of him looking at him, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.
Li Le didn't dare to say anything, so he pretended that he didn't know about it and kept silent.
Not getting any results from him, Wang Ren and Gongsun Miaoran looked at each other, and Wang Ren asked, "Let's go take a look?"
Gongsun Miaoran nodded, "Okay."
The three of them walked out of the palace together. Although all the palace gates were strictly guarded by the military supervisors, Gongsun Miaoran and his companions were not heading towards the palace gates, so the military supervisors did not stop them.
When they arrived at the polo field, they saw a crowd of people there. No one looked happy, and some even looked a little panicked.
With such a big incident happening, all the palace servants were worried that they would be implicated and lose their lives.
And the horse was shot dead on the polo field. Li Le only saw this scene. Then, looking at the military supervisors surrounding the polo field, he once again felt how difficult it was to survive in ancient times.
If he wanted to survive in this place, he not only had to make himself valuable, but also had to have someone behind him to protect him. Otherwise, as a small Taoist priest, he would be treated as a pawn. Even if he had calculated it, his life and death would still depend on the emperor's decision.
Not only the emperor, but also the princes and nobles could easily take his life.
He was able to survive by pretending to be a liar, so he pretended to be a big shot. After being exposed by Gongsun Miaoran, he successfully obtained the documents with the help of County Magistrate Hu, and was able to report to the Chongxuan Office and become a recorded Taoist priest.
This also allowed him to avoid a lot of difficulties, but afterwards, Li Le only looked in the direction of Gongsun Miaoran. Was he going to join the prince in the future?
If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will be the next emperor, so it is necessary to establish good relations in advance.
Li Le thought a lot, and after he left the palace and returned home, he was still thinking about this matter and couldn't make a decision.
Logically, he should stand on the side of the emperor, but he can't get in touch with him now. The only person he can get in touch with is Gongsun Miaoran. It is very difficult for him to establish a relationship with the prince. If he stands on the side of the prince, he will offend other princes.
He cannot have irreplaceable value, and even if he surrenders to the prince, he is just an insignificant pawn.
Li Le only told the fortune for himself. He didn't tell anything else. He just told the fortune about who will ascend the throne in the future.
Zhao Cong.
After Li Le figured out this result, he fell silent. He really didn't know what the names of those princes were.
It is not certain that he can figure out the prince's name. Only after he has met the prince can he be 100% sure.
Since he has calculated the future emperor, he can just curry favor with him later. Now he should just go to bed as he has to go on duty tomorrow. He doesn’t know what the outcome of the frightened horse incident will be.
The next day, when Li Lezhi went to work, he saw the people in the Ministry of Justice busying around and knew that they were still conducting a thorough investigation.
Li Le was just surprised. If he didn't let the national expert calculate this kind of thing, wouldn't it be quicker to find out if he did?
After seeing Li Lezhi, the doctor thought of the divinations Li Lezhi had done and felt that he was truly an expert who could even predict that bad things would happen on July 15th. It was likely that Taoist Li would know at that time that the horse would be frightened.
The doctor of the Bibu Department was even more frightened when he thought about this. If His Majesty knew that he knew about it and did not report it, his life would be in danger. Fortunately, only he and Taoist Li knew about this, so His Majesty was not in any danger.
Otherwise, he really couldn't eat or sleep well.
Every day I wonder if I will be thrown into the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice came forward and whispered, "Master Li, you are finally here. The people from the Ministry of Justice are waiting for you."
"Huh?" Li Le was just confused.
"It has been found that the incident that happened in the palace yesterday was man-made. The horse was drugged. However, the Ministry of Justice has not yet found out who drugged it. They are very worried. All the people in the Imperial Horse Bureau are imprisoned, waiting to find the murderer. Okay..."
The doctor wiped his neck.
Li Le just understood that his calculation yesterday was correct. He asked: "How did the medicine get into the palace?"
"This matter is still under investigation, but the military supervisor who was guarding the gate yesterday was led by Lord Wang. Lord Wang is also investigating the military supervisor thoroughly, trying to find out who let the person into the palace. Even the Imperial Medical Bureau was thoroughly investigated, but the source of the medicine was not found. The eunuchs in the palace also searched thoroughly, but found nothing."
"Can't find the source of the medicine?"
This is impossible. Given the strict security of the imperial palace, it is not easy to hide the medicine. Unless the person left the palace after administering the medicine, then how did the medicine get into the palace?
"Will it count if we don't invite the Taoist priest?" When it comes to the emperor, those national masters will always take action.
"Well, I don't know either," the doctor looked at Li Le and said, "Master Li, you are the only one in the Ministry of Justice who can do this."
so?
The so-called seeking help from a Taoist priest, but ended up finding fault with him?
Hongluguan
The envoys from Jin State are staying here. Ever since Emperor Zhao fell off his horse due to fright at the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the prince of Jin State has not slept all night.
Listening to the noise outside, he looked at the woman in his room who was disguised as a maid of the embassy and asked, "How did you do it yesterday?"
"Your Highness, please don't be too curious. I have my own way. But you guys, please don't expose yourself."
Prince Jinguo frowned, looking thoughtful. Originally, they wanted to send the person and the treasure into the palace together, and then have the girl disguise herself as a beastmaster and borrow the power of the big cat to harm the life of Emperor Zhao.

"Those people yesterday were Taoist priests who passed through Daliang. They are nothing to worry about. Besides, the Taoist priest who calculated the flood has been killed by our people."
After hearing this, Prince Jin put aside his worries, but he always felt that this matter was not that simple.

Or was this the Ministry of Justice trying to build momentum for him, hoping to use this opportunity to get the Taoist priest into the worship hall, so that in the future, they could use the Taoist priest's reputation to detain people even if there was insufficient evidence.
If this is true, the Ministry of Justice is really planning a big game, hoping to use this Taoist priest to suppress the two departments. I don't know if this is Yang Wenjing's plan.
If it really comes to that, there will be no need for the Dali Temple and the Censorate, as his Ministry of Justice will have absolute power.
After thinking this, the Chief Censor became wary of Li Le.
It would be fine if the Taoist Li had real ability, but if not, he would risk his life to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Justice.
But the Chief Censor didn't understand that what he could see, the young marquis might also be able to see.
Since the young marquis wanted to ask the Taoist priest to come and do a fortune-telling, did he want to see his abilities or did he really believe that the Taoist priest had real abilities? Or maybe the Taoist priest was not who he thought he was?
The Chief Censor said, "Even Lord Wang believes in Taoist Li's ability. I am a little curious."
Wang Ren looked at the old face of the Chief Censor, curled his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Li has already calculated the talisman, why not let Master Li continue to calculate, so that this case can be resolved."
He looked as if he wanted to wrap up the case in a hurry.
Yang Wenjing frowned and said, "Young Marquis is dissatisfied."
Wang Ren immediately said seriously: "Old Yang, please don't harm me. How could I not believe in Taoist Li's ability? Taoist Li is here with me, but this."
He raised his thumb to let others know what he thought, but with his nonchalant look, it seemed like he was mocking others.
The Chief Censor could not tell whether the young marquis was praising the Taoist priest Li or satirizing the Ministry of Justice for listening to the decision of a Taoist priest even in such a case.
After Li Lezhi arrived, he looked at the three people with serious faces, two of whom he was familiar with. He nodded to them and stood quietly aside.
Only then did Wang Ren remember that he was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. If someone exposed him as the Minister of the Dali Temple, what if Taoist Li didn't like someone deceiving him?
Then he would be in danger.
The Chief Censor looked at Li Lezhi, the Taoist priest working in the Ministry of Justice. He was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe. He was a handsome man with an elegant appearance. If he took part in the imperial examination, he would definitely be the third place in the imperial examination that year.
The most rare thing is this man's temperament, which is ethereal and as if he is a banished immortal reborn. With his appearance and demeanor, even if he does not have much skill, just based on his appearance, people would think he is a master who has practiced Taoism for many years.
It’s just that he is very young, so people can’t be convinced that he has real ability. Instead, people would think he is a charlatan who is deliberately disguising himself.
Even he had some doubts about whether this Taoist Li had real abilities or was just pretending.
It is rare among Taoists and also rare among ordinary people. When the real is also fake, the fake is also real, who can tell the real from the fake?
The Imperial Censor said, "Master Li, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to calculate whether this girl in front of you is a talisman."
He was very curious about how this Taoist Priest Li calculated. However, when Li Le only took out the tortoise shell for calculation, the Chief Censor's eyes were confused. This Taoist Priest Li, who seemed to have extraordinary Taoist skills, actually also needed to use tortoise shells?
Could it be that people as powerful as them couldn't just calculate it, or just take a glance and know the result?
Or maybe he was wrong. The Taoist Priest Li in front of him was just extraordinary in bearing, and his ability was just that of an ordinary Taoist priest.
Yes, if he was really a powerful Taoist priest, he would not be working in the Ministry of Justice. He should have entered Xuanyang Palace to practice Taoism and go to the Worship Hall.
After the Chief Censor figured it out, he became much less interested in Li Lezhi and just sat there, waiting for the result.
When Wang Ren and Yang Wenjing saw Taoist Li take out the tortoise shell, they both looked puzzled. Taoist Li has always been simple and could get the answer directly through calculation, so why did he use the tortoise shell today?
Wang Ren thought more about it. Was it because he almost exposed the Taoist priest's identity before, and the Taoist priest used the tortoise shell disguise to cover it up?
No matter how they guessed, Li Le just took out the tortoise shell and threw it twice. This time he did not use fortune-telling, but tried to see what result he could get with the tortoise shell. Then, he calculated nothing and got no result.
Even though he knew this, Li Lezhi was still a little discouraged. After studying for so long, he still couldn't master it, so he had to use calculations again.
Li Le just said: "It's not her."
When the girl's name was calculated, two results appeared. Li Le could only guess that the girl must have changed her name, which happened to be Fuzhi, and was arrested by the military supervisor as a murderer.
"Where was the person caught?" Li Le just asked.
Wang Ren said, "We caught him in the Honglu Hall." He waved his hand, and the clerk came up to him. Wang Ren said, "Go and ask the military supervisor who caught him to come in."
The military supervisor walked in.
Wang Ren asked, "Are there any other female servants in the Hongluguan?"
The military supervisor said, "No."
"Really?" Wang Ren stopped smiling and asked seriously.
The military supervisor nodded.
After the military supervisor nodded, Wang Ren immediately stood up and asked, "Has anyone left the Hongluguan?"
Supervisor: “No.”
That was really strange. The people from the Honglu Pavilion had not left, but Taoist Li calculated that the murderer was in the Honglu Pavilion, and there was only a girl named Fu Zhi in the Honglu Pavilion.
Where did the murderer go?
The Imperial Censor said, "Could it be that the Taoist priest made a mistake in his calculations? The person is not in the Honglu Pavilion, and his name is not even Fuzhi. Or maybe this girl is the murderer."
The maid then realized that she was considered the murderer and immediately shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's really not me. I have never entered the palace, and I have never killed anyone."
The author has something to say
Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: Pluto, Mowei 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The two of them held their breath and looked at Gongsun Miaoran nervously.
Gongsun Miaoran stopped there and said, "There's a frightened horse over at the polo field."
Wang Ren looked at him like this.
A thought flashed through my mind?
Just a thought?
He raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Miaoran in surprise.
The military supervisor was mobilized and the horses were startled on the polo field. If it was someone else, why would Gongsun Miaoran be so cautious and not dare to speak out? This person can only be His Majesty.
Wang Ren said: "You mean..."
Gongsun Miaoran nodded.
It's really His Majesty. This is no small matter.
It is impossible that it was the prince who did this, this is too petty a trick.
Since Taoist Li said he had figured it out, the person who took action would not be the prince.
Who is it?
Or an accident?
Li Le was only slightly puzzled. The horses were startled in the horse farm, and then what? The two in front of him were like riddlers, and they were halfway through their sentences. It couldn't be that the emperor was unlucky, fell off his horse, and was trampled by the horse...
It is unlucky to have this happen on your birthday, and it is also a disaster for horse owners.
Is this what he calculated?
Compared to the Prince's Palace Incident, it didn't seem like a big deal. With a big explosion happening in the past, this incident seemed too ordinary. Unless, the horse frightening incident was not an accident, but a human one.
Li Le took advantage of the fact that the two men didn't see him, put his hands in his sleeves, and calculated secretly. He wanted to figure out whether this was an accident or man-made.
After Li Lezhi figured it out, even though he had this thought, he couldn't help but feel frightened. If he calculated correctly, the horse was frightened by human beings.
So who took action?
Prince?
It shouldn't be the crown prince. The crown prince is the heir to the throne. If he really wants to seize the throne, why would he do something that has no 100% chance of success, such as killing the emperor?
Why did Wang Ren recall that the crown prince was going to coup? Did he really miscalculate the crown prince's coup?
So how much of the artificiality he calculated now is true?
Li Lezhi: …
He is starting to become bald. Fortunately, this important matter will not be assigned to him for fortune-telling. If it were really assigned to him, with his fortune-telling skills which are sometimes effective and sometimes not, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives because of this.
Fortunately, there are still national players. With that group of national players taking action, this matter will be resolved quickly, and he will also know whether his calculations are accurate.
Li Le just felt relieved, and then he saw the two people in front of him looking at him, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.
Li Le didn't dare to say anything, so he pretended that he didn't know about it and kept silent.
Not getting any results from him, Wang Ren and Gongsun Miaoran looked at each other, and Wang Ren asked, "Let's go take a look?"
Gongsun Miaoran nodded, "Okay."
The three of them walked out of the palace together. Although all the palace gates were strictly guarded by the military supervisors, Gongsun Miaoran and his companions were not heading towards the palace gates, so the military supervisors did not stop them.
When they arrived at the polo field, they saw a crowd of people there. No one looked happy, and some even looked a little panicked.
With such a big incident happening, all the palace servants were worried that they would be implicated and lose their lives.
And the horse was shot dead on the polo field. Li Le only saw this scene. Then, looking at the military supervisors surrounding the polo field, he once again felt how difficult it was to survive in ancient times.
If he wanted to survive in this place, he not only had to make himself valuable, but also had to have someone behind him to protect him. Otherwise, as a small Taoist priest, he would be treated as a pawn. Even if he had calculated it, his life and death would still depend on the emperor's decision.
Not only the emperor, but also the princes and nobles could easily take his life.
He was able to survive by pretending to be a liar, so he pretended to be a big shot. After being exposed by Gongsun Miaoran, he successfully obtained the documents with the help of County Magistrate Hu, and was able to report to the Chongxuan Office and become a recorded Taoist priest.
This also allowed him to avoid a lot of difficulties, but afterwards, Li Le only looked in the direction of Gongsun Miaoran. Was he going to join the prince in the future?
If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will be the next emperor, so it is necessary to establish good relations in advance.
Li Le thought a lot, and after he left the palace and returned home, he was still thinking about this matter and couldn't make a decision.
Logically, he should stand on the side of the emperor, but he can't get in touch with him now. The only person he can get in touch with is Gongsun Miaoran. It is very difficult for him to establish a relationship with the prince. If he stands on the side of the prince, he will offend other princes.
He cannot have irreplaceable value, and even if he surrenders to the prince, he is just an insignificant pawn.
Li Le only told the fortune for himself. He didn't tell anything else. He just told the fortune about who will ascend the throne in the future.
Zhao Cong.
After Li Le figured out this result, he fell silent. He really didn't know what the names of those princes were.
It is not certain that he can figure out the prince's name. Only after he has met the prince can he be 100% sure.
Since he has calculated the future emperor, he can just curry favor with him later. Now he should just go to bed as he has to go on duty tomorrow. He doesn’t know what the outcome of the frightened horse incident will be.
The next day, when Li Lezhi went to work, he saw the people in the Ministry of Justice busying around and knew that they were still conducting a thorough investigation.
Li Le was just surprised. If he didn't let the national expert calculate this kind of thing, wouldn't it be quicker to find out if he did?
After seeing Li Lezhi, the doctor thought of the divinations Li Lezhi had done and felt that he was truly an expert who could even predict that bad things would happen on July 15th. It was likely that Taoist Li would know at that time that the horse would be frightened.
The doctor of the Bibu Department was even more frightened when he thought about this. If His Majesty knew that he knew about it and did not report it, his life would be in danger. Fortunately, only he and Taoist Li knew about this, so His Majesty was not in any danger.
Otherwise, he really couldn't eat or sleep well.
Every day I wonder if I will be thrown into the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice came forward and whispered, "Master Li, you are finally here. The people from the Ministry of Justice are waiting for you."
"Huh?" Li Le was just confused.
"It has been found that the incident that happened in the palace yesterday was man-made. The horse was drugged. However, the Ministry of Justice has not yet found out who drugged it. They are very worried. All the people in the Imperial Horse Bureau are imprisoned, waiting to find the murderer. Okay..."
The doctor wiped his neck.
Li Le just understood that his calculation yesterday was correct. He asked: "How did the medicine get into the palace?"
"This matter is still under investigation, but the military supervisor who was guarding the gate yesterday was led by Lord Wang. Lord Wang is also investigating the military supervisor thoroughly, trying to find out who let the person into the palace. Even the Imperial Medical Bureau was thoroughly investigated, but the source of the medicine was not found. The eunuchs in the palace also searched thoroughly, but found nothing."
"Can't find the source of the medicine?"
This is impossible. Given the strict security of the imperial palace, it is not easy to hide the medicine. Unless the person left the palace after administering the medicine, then how did the medicine get into the palace?
"Will it count if we don't invite the Taoist priest?" When it comes to the emperor, those national masters will always take action.
"Well, I don't know either," the doctor looked at Li Le and said, "Master Li, you are the only one in the Ministry of Justice who can do this."
so?
The so-called seeking help from a Taoist priest, but ended up finding fault with him?
Hongluguan
The envoys from Jin State are staying here. Ever since Emperor Zhao fell off his horse due to fright at the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the prince of Jin State has not slept all night.
Listening to the noise outside, he looked at the woman in his room who was disguised as a maid of the embassy and asked, "How did you do it yesterday?"
"Your Highness, please don't be too curious. I have my own way. But you guys, please don't expose yourself."
Prince Jinguo frowned, looking thoughtful. Originally, they wanted to send the person and the treasure into the palace together, and then have the girl disguise herself as a beastmaster and borrow the power of the big cat to harm the life of Emperor Zhao.
However, as the Qianqiu era approached, the guards at the Imperial Palace became tighter, and it was not easy for them to sneak someone in. Fortunately, this person was good at disguise and was able to disguise himself as a female messenger in his delegation.
Only then can you sneak into the Qianqiu Banquet.
But he didn't know what this man did later. He just didn't expect that the assassin sent by Zhao State to assassinate Emperor Zhao would scare the horse and trample Emperor Zhao to death.
It's too much of a joke.
The prince of Jin State asked doubtfully, "Are you really the leader of the Hidden Assassination?"
"..." The man said, "You guys leaked the news. There is nothing we can do about it. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan saving the emperor, if the emperor Zhao was trampled by the horse's hooves yesterday, he would have been seriously injured and his internal organs would have been shattered. How could he have survived?"
"It's impossible that we leaked the news," Prince Jinguo seemed to have thought of something. His face darkened and he said, "Leave the Hongluguan immediately. I don't care where you go, but don't let the people of Daliang find out that you are here."
"Don't worry, they can't find out. Those priests have some means, but if they want to arrest you without evidence, they will lose face. What's more, can any of them figure out that it was me who did it, and can they also figure out your Jin Kingdom?"
"Those people yesterday were Taoist priests who passed through Daliang. They are nothing to worry about. Besides, the Taoist priest who calculated the flood has been killed by our people."
After hearing this, Prince Jin put aside his worries, but he always felt that this matter was not that simple.
His intuition told him that if he didn't leave Daliang as soon as possible, he might not have the chance to leave in the future.
Prince Jin State glanced at the woman behind him. She was from Zhao State. If they drove her out now, it would expose that there was something fishy going on in Jin State. He could only comfort himself that nothing would happen.
Just get through this period of wind.
They had calculated everything, even knew how far the Taoist priest of Daliang could predict, but the information was incomplete after all, and they didn't know that Li Lezhi already existed in Daliang.
They also wanted to leave Daliang as soon as the news passed.
Li Le only went to the Ministry of Justice and saw officials of all ranks who were detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison. He heard that some people were also detained in the Dali Temple. What he saw was not all.
After sighing for a while, Li Le began to calculate whether the people in the Imperial Stables Bureau were hiding the murderer, but in the end he found that there was no murderer.
He told the result to Minister Zhou, and then calculated who had drugged her, and found out it was a woman named Fu Zhi.
As soon as this name came out, Minister Zhou immediately sent people to check whether there was any prisoner named Fu Zhi among them.
After a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple did not find any woman named Fu Zhi. Although Minister Zhou knew Li Lezhi's ability, this matter was very serious, so he had to report it to Minister Yang.
Yang Wenjing also knew Li Le's ability. After stroking his beard, he finally told the matter to the right prime minister Gongsun Gu.
Gongsun Gu learned that it was Taoist Li who came up with the idea of thoroughly investigating a girl named Fu Zhi.
The prince of Jin State also knew this news. After he informed the leader of Yinsha about it, he asked, "Your name is Fuzhi?"
Fu Zhi was shocked, stood up and said, "Impossible."
How could the people from Daliang find out her name? Not many people knew her name. Could it be that someone in Zhaoguo's Hidden Killing Guard betrayed her?
There was a flash of murderous intent in Fu Zhi's eyes. Her identity had been exposed. The person who betrayed her might not want her to go back alive. Or, the moment she accepted the mission to assassinate Emperor Zhao, someone tipped off the people in Daliang.
Therefore, the people of Daliang would guard strictly at the Qianqiu Banquet. If she had not found an opportunity, there would be no way to hurt Emperor Zhao.
She wanted to take this news back to Zhaoguo.
Let Your Majesty thoroughly investigate the traitors who betrayed Zhaoguo.
Fu Zhi said, "You arrange for someone to cover me. I will leave as soon as possible while they are still not paying attention to the Honglu Hall. I will definitely tell His Majesty about your help to my Zhao State. When Zhao State conquers Daliang in the future, your Jin State will definitely benefit from it."
"They are investigating thoroughly now. I will help you if they find out that you are from Jin State." The prince of Jin State hesitated and said, "You are very good at disguising yourself. They won't find out that you are Fu Zhi. Why don't you wait until we return to the country and leave together?"
Fu Zhi: “No need.”
The person who betrayed her would definitely tell her about the alliance between Zhao and Jin. If she continued to sit there and wait for death, she would only be caught by Daliang.
Previously, he stayed in the Jin State delegation and came to the Honglu Pavilion to avoid search. Now it is not easy to get out.
Before Fu Zhi could find a way to leave, the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded by military supervisors, and not even a fly could fly out.
This was a good opportunity for the military supervisors to redeem themselves from their crimes and make meritorious contributions. No one dared to neglect his duty and wanted to receive the fifty military sticks.
Fu Zhi was shocked when she learned that the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded. Sure enough, the person who betrayed her also sold the news of Jin State to Daliang. Now it was not easy for her to leave.
Fu Zhi thought of the maid she replaced. After speaking to Prince Jin, she disguised herself as a eunuch beside Prince Jin and changed into the eunuch's clothes.
And that female servant was Fu Zhi.
When the maid was captured, Fu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. This maid was bought from the Daliang agent after Jin Guo came to Daliang. The prince of Jin Guo used her as a maid to cover up for her.
Now, the people from Daliang have captured the people from Daliang, and that person has become her scapegoat. Once this matter is settled, she will be able to escape and return to Zhao State.
When the maid was caught, she said, "Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
The military supervisor who took her away said nothing but took her to the Ministry of Justice. When Yang Wenjing learned that the woman named Fu Zhi was arrested, he looked at the weak girl in front of him and could not imagine that this was someone who would assassinate His Majesty in the palace.
Don't judge a person by appearance. The seemingly weak ones are just disguises of these killers. Yang Wenjing asked, "Are you Fu Zhi?"
The maid cried, "Sir, I am not a talisman. I am innocent. Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
"He is facing death but still refuses to repent," said the Chief Censor.
Wang Rendao: "From your accent, you are from Hangzhou?"
"Yes, sir," the maid said, "I came from Hangzhou, but I was cheated of all my money on the way here, and finally I was cheated by the people in the pimp's office. I was about to be scolded and sent to a brothel when someone rescued me."
Wang Ren said, "Go ask the military supervisor guarding the gate to come and identify the man."
After a while, the military supervisor came over and Wang Ren asked, "Do you remember this face?"
The military supervisor said, "Remember, this man entered the palace with the envoys."
After hearing this, the maid immediately said, "Sir, I have never been to the palace. I have always stayed in the room and have never been anywhere else."
Hearing her crying, Yang Wenjing frowned and asked, "You said you stayed in the room the whole time?"
The maid nodded repeatedly.
"The young master who bought me never summoned me. He just asked me to stay in my room. I really never entered the palace."
"This is a strange thing. Why don't we ask Taoist Li to come and calculate it?"
The Chief Censor raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Ren, and was somewhat curious about the Taoist Master Li he mentioned.
I heard that after this Taoist priest Li came to the Ministry of Justice, he helped the ministry solve many cases. Even the name Fu Zhi was calculated by that Taoist priest.
Fu Zhi was not found inside or outside the palace, and the Ministry of Justice suddenly said that Fu Zhi was hiding in the Honglu Pavilion.
The person who could make the Ministry of Justice say this must be that Taoist Priest Li.
Could that person really have calculated to such an extent? Or was this the Ministry of Justice trying to build momentum for him, hoping to use this opportunity to get the Taoist priest into the worship hall, so that in the future, they could use the Taoist priest's reputation to detain people even if there was insufficient evidence.
If this is true, the Ministry of Justice is really planning a big game, hoping to use this Taoist priest to suppress the two departments. I don't know if this is Yang Wenjing's plan.
If it really comes to that, there will be no need for the Dali Temple and the Censorate, as his Ministry of Justice will have absolute power.
After thinking this, the Chief Censor became wary of Li Le.
It would be fine if the Taoist Li had real ability, but if not, he would risk his life to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Justice.
But the Chief Censor didn't understand that what he could see, the young marquis might also be able to see.

So how much of the artificiality he calculated now is true?
Li Lezhi: …
He is starting to become bald. Fortunately, this important matter will not be assigned to him for fortune-telling. If it were really assigned to him, with his fortune-telling skills which are sometimes effective and sometimes not, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives because of this.
Fortunately, there are still national players. With that group of national players taking action, this matter will be resolved quickly, and he will also know whether his calculations are accurate.
Li Le just felt relieved, and then he saw the two people in front of him looking at him, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.
Li Le didn't dare to say anything, so he pretended that he didn't know about it and kept silent.
Not getting any results from him, Wang Ren and Gongsun Miaoran looked at each other, and Wang Ren said, "Let's go and take a look? ╳[(.)]╳?╳#?#?╳?"
Gongsun Miaoran nodded, "Okay."
The three of them walked out of the palace together. Although all the palace gates were strictly guarded by the military supervisors, Gongsun Miaoran and his companions were not heading towards the palace gates, so the military supervisors did not stop them.
When they arrived at the polo field, they saw a crowd of people there. No one looked happy, and some even looked a little panicked.
With such a big incident happening, all the palace servants were worried that they would be implicated and lose their lives.
And the horse was shot dead on the polo field. Li Le only saw this scene. Then, looking at the military supervisors surrounding the polo field, he once again felt how difficult it was to survive in ancient times.
If he wanted to survive in this place, he not only had to make himself valuable, but also had to have someone behind him to protect him. Otherwise, as a small Taoist priest, he would be treated as a pawn. Even if he had calculated it, his life and death would still depend on the emperor's decision.
Not only the emperor, but also the princes and nobles could easily take his life.
He was able to survive by pretending to be a liar, so he pretended to be a big shot. After being exposed by Gongsun Miaoran, he successfully obtained the documents with the help of County Magistrate Hu, and was able to report to the Chongxuan Office and become a recorded Taoist priest.
This also allowed him to avoid a lot of difficulties, but afterwards, Li Le only looked in the direction of Gongsun Miaoran. Was he going to join the prince in the future?
If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will be the next emperor, so it is necessary to establish good relations in advance.
Li Le thought a lot, and after he left the palace and returned home, he was still thinking about this matter and couldn't make a decision.
Logically, he should stand on the side of the emperor, but he can't get in touch with him now. The only person he can get in touch with is Gongsun Miaoran. It is very difficult for him to establish a relationship with the prince. If he stands on the side of the prince, he will offend other princes.
He cannot have irreplaceable value, and even if he surrenders to the prince, he is just an insignificant pawn.
Li Le only told the fortune for himself. He didn't tell anything else. He just told the fortune about who will ascend the throne in the future.
Zhao Cong.
After Li Le figured out this result, he fell silent. He really didn't know what the names of those princes were.
It is not certain that he can figure out the prince's name. Only after he has met the prince can he be 100% sure.
Since he has calculated the future emperor, he can just curry favor with him later. Now he should just go to bed as he has to go on duty tomorrow. He doesn’t know what the outcome of the frightened horse incident will be.
The next day, when Li Lezhi went to work, he saw the people in the Ministry of Justice busying around and knew that they were still conducting a thorough investigation.
Li Le was just surprised. If he didn't let the national expert calculate this kind of thing, wouldn't it be quicker to find out if he did?
After seeing Li Lezhi, the doctor thought of the divinations Li Lezhi had done and felt that he was truly an expert who could even predict that bad things would happen on July 15th. It was likely that Taoist Li would know at that time that the horse would be frightened.
The doctor of the Bibu Department was even more frightened when he thought about this. If His Majesty knew that he knew about it and did not report it, his life would be in danger. Fortunately, only he and Taoist Li knew about this, so His Majesty was not in any danger.
Otherwise, he really couldn't eat or sleep well.
Every day I wonder if I will be thrown into the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice came forward and whispered, "Master Li, you are finally here. The people from the Ministry of Justice are waiting for you."
"Huh?" Li Le was just confused.
"It has been found that the incident that happened in the palace yesterday was man-made. The horse was drugged. However, the Ministry of Justice has not yet found out who drugged it. They are very worried. All the people in the Imperial Horse Bureau are imprisoned, waiting to find the murderer. Okay..."
The doctor wiped his neck.
Li Le just understood that his calculation yesterday was correct. He asked: "How did the medicine get into the palace?"
"This matter is still under investigation, but the military supervisor who was guarding the gate yesterday was led by Lord Wang. Lord Wang is also investigating the military supervisor thoroughly, trying to find out who let the person into the palace. Even the Imperial Medical Bureau was thoroughly investigated, but the source of the medicine was not found. The eunuchs in the palace also searched thoroughly, but found nothing."
"Can't find the source of the medicine?"
This is impossible. Given the strict security of the imperial palace, it is not easy to hide the medicine. Unless the person left the palace after administering the medicine, then how did the medicine get into the palace?
"Will it count if we don't invite the Taoist priest?" When it comes to the emperor, those national masters will always take action.
"Well, I don't know either," the doctor looked at Li Le and said, "Master Li, you are the only one in the Ministry of Justice who can do this."
so?
The so-called seeking help from a Taoist priest, but ended up finding fault with him?
Hongluguan
The envoys from Jin State are staying here. Ever since Emperor Zhao fell off his horse due to fright at the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the prince of Jin State has not slept all night.
Listening to the noise outside, he looked at the woman in his room who was disguised as a maid of the embassy and asked, "How did you do it yesterday?"
"Your Highness, please don't be too curious. I have my own way. But you guys, please don't expose yourself."
Prince Jinguo frowned, looking thoughtful. Originally, they wanted to send the person and the treasure into the palace together, and then have the girl disguise herself as a beastmaster and borrow the power of the big cat to harm the life of Emperor Zhao.
However, as the Qianqiu era approached, the guards at the Imperial Palace became tighter, and it was not easy for them to sneak someone in. Fortunately, this person was good at disguise and was able to disguise himself as a female messenger in his delegation.
Only then can you sneak into the Qianqiu Banquet.
But he didn't know what this man did later. He just didn't expect that the assassin sent by Zhao State to assassinate Emperor Zhao would scare the horse and trample Emperor Zhao to death.
It's too much of a joke.
The prince of Jin State asked doubtfully, "Are you really the leader of the Hidden Assassination?"
"..." The man said, "You guys leaked the news. There is nothing we can do about it. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan saving the emperor, if the emperor Zhao was trampled by the horse's hooves yesterday, he would have been seriously injured and his internal organs would have been shattered. How could he have survived?"
"It's impossible that we leaked the news," Prince Jinguo seemed to have thought of something. His face darkened and he said, "Leave the Hongluguan immediately. I don't care where you go, but don't let the people of Daliang find out that you are here."
"Don't worry, they can't find out. Those priests have some means, but if they want to arrest you without evidence, they will lose face. What's more, can any of them figure out that it was me who did it, and can they also figure out your Jin Kingdom?"
"Those people yesterday were Taoist priests who passed through Daliang. They are nothing to worry about. Besides, the Taoist priest who calculated the flood has been killed by our people."
After hearing this, Prince Jin put aside his worries, but he always felt that this matter was not that simple.
His intuition told him that if he didn't leave Daliang as soon as possible, he might not have the chance to leave in the future.
Prince Jin State glanced at the woman behind him. She was from Zhao State. If they drove her out now, it would expose that there was something fishy going on in Jin State. He could only comfort himself that nothing would happen.
Just get through this period of wind.
They had calculated everything, even knew how far the Taoist priest of Daliang could predict, but the information was incomplete after all, and they didn't know that Li Lezhi already existed in Daliang.
They also wanted to leave Daliang as soon as the news passed.
Li Le only went to the Ministry of Justice and saw officials of all ranks who were detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison. He heard that some people were also detained in the Dali Temple. What he saw was not all.
After sighing for a while, Li Le began to calculate whether the people in the Imperial Stables Bureau were hiding the murderer, but in the end he found that there was no murderer.
He told the result to Minister Zhou, and then calculated who had drugged her, and found out it was a woman named Fu Zhi.
As soon as this name came out, Minister Zhou immediately sent people to check whether there was any prisoner named Fu Zhi among them.
After a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple did not find any woman named Fu Zhi. Although Minister Zhou knew Li Lezhi's ability, this matter was very serious, so he had to report it to Minister Yang.
Yang Wenjing also knew Li Le's ability. After stroking his beard, he finally told the matter to the right prime minister Gongsun Gu.
Gongsun Gu learned that it was Taoist Li who came up with the idea of thoroughly investigating a girl named Fu Zhi.
The prince of Jin State also knew this news. After he informed the leader of Yinsha about it, he asked, "Your name is Fuzhi?"
Fu Zhi was shocked, stood up and said, "Impossible."
How could the people from Daliang find out her name? Not many people knew her name. Could it be that someone in Zhaoguo's Hidden Killing Guard betrayed her?
There was a flash of murderous intent in Fu Zhi's eyes. Her identity had been exposed. The person who betrayed her might not want her to go back alive. Or, the moment she accepted the mission to assassinate Emperor Zhao, someone tipped off the people in Daliang.
Therefore, the people of Daliang would guard strictly at the Qianqiu Banquet. If she had not found an opportunity, there would be no way to hurt Emperor Zhao.
She wanted to take this news back to Zhaoguo.
Let Your Majesty thoroughly investigate the traitors who betrayed Zhaoguo.
Fu Zhi said, "You arrange for someone to cover me. I will leave as soon as possible while they are still not paying attention to the Honglu Hall. I will definitely tell His Majesty about your help to my Zhao State. When Zhao State conquers Daliang in the future, your Jin State will definitely benefit from it."
"They are investigating thoroughly now. I will help you if they find out that you are from Jin State." The prince of Jin State hesitated and said, "You are very good at disguising yourself. They won't find out that you are Fu Zhi. Why don't you wait until we return to the country and leave together?"
Fu Zhi: “No need.”
The person who betrayed her would definitely tell her about the alliance between Zhao and Jin. If she continued to sit there and wait for death, she would only be caught by Daliang.
Previously, he stayed in the Jin State delegation and came to the Honglu Pavilion to avoid search. Now it is not easy to get out.
Before Fu Zhi could find a way to leave, the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded by military supervisors, and not even a fly could fly out.
This was a good opportunity for the military supervisors to redeem themselves from their crimes and make meritorious contributions. No one dared to neglect his duty and wanted to receive the fifty military sticks.
Fu Zhi was shocked when she learned that the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded. Sure enough, the person who betrayed her also sold the news of Jin State to Daliang. Now it was not easy for her to leave.
Fu Zhi thought of the maid she replaced. After speaking to Prince Jin, she disguised herself as a eunuch beside Prince Jin and changed into the eunuch's clothes.
And that female servant was Fu Zhi.
When the maid was captured, Fu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. This maid was bought from the Daliang agent after Jin Guo came to Daliang. The prince of Jin Guo used her as a maid to cover up for her.
Now, the people from Daliang have captured the people from Daliang, and that person has become her scapegoat. Once this matter is settled, she will be able to escape and return to Zhao State.
When the maid was caught, she said, "Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
The military supervisor who took her away said nothing but took her to the Ministry of Justice. When Yang Wenjing learned that the woman named Fu Zhi was arrested, he looked at the weak girl in front of him and could not imagine that this was someone who would assassinate His Majesty in the palace.
Don't judge a person by appearance. The seemingly weak ones are just disguises of these killers. Yang Wenjing asked, "Are you Fu Zhi?"
The maid cried, "Sir, I am not a talisman. I am innocent. Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
"He is facing death but still refuses to repent," said the Chief Censor.
Wang Rendao: "From your accent, you are from Hangzhou?"
"Yes, sir," the maid said, "I came from Hangzhou, but I was cheated of all my money on the way here, and finally I was cheated by the people in the pimp's office. I was about to be scolded and sent to a brothel when someone rescued me."
Wang Ren said, "Go ask the military supervisor guarding the gate to come and identify the man."
After a while, the military supervisor came over and Wang Ren asked, "Do you remember this face?"
The military supervisor said, "Remember, this man entered the palace with the envoys."
After hearing this, the maid immediately said, "Sir, I have never been to the palace. I have always stayed in the room and have never been anywhere else."
Hearing her crying, Yang Wenjing frowned and asked, "You said you stayed in the room the whole time?"
The maid nodded repeatedly.
"The young master who bought me never summoned me. He just asked me to stay in my room. I really never entered the palace."
"This is a strange thing. Why don't we ask Taoist Li to come and calculate it?"
The Chief Censor raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Ren, and was somewhat curious about the Taoist Master Li he mentioned.
I heard that after this Taoist priest Li came to the Ministry of Justice, he helped the ministry solve many cases. Even the name Fu Zhi was calculated by that Taoist priest.
Fu Zhi was not found inside or outside the palace, and the Ministry of Justice suddenly said that Fu Zhi was hiding in the Honglu Pavilion.
The person who could make the Ministry of Justice say this must be that Taoist Priest Li.
Could that person really have calculated to such an extent? Or was this the Ministry of Justice trying to build momentum for him, hoping to use this opportunity to get the Taoist priest into the worship hall, so that in the future, they could use the Taoist priest's reputation to detain people even if there was insufficient evidence.
If this is true, the Ministry of Justice is really planning a big game, hoping to use this Taoist priest to suppress the two departments. I don't know if this is Yang Wenjing's plan.
If it really comes to that, there will be no need for the Dali Temple and the Censorate, as his Ministry of Justice will have absolute power.
After thinking this, the Chief Censor became wary of Li Le.
It would be fine if the Taoist Li had real ability, but if not, he would risk his life to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Justice.
But the Chief Censor didn't understand that what he could see, the young marquis might also be able to see.
Since the young marquis wanted to ask the Taoist priest to come and do a fortune-telling, did he want to see his abilities or did he really believe that the Taoist priest had real abilities? Or maybe the Taoist priest was not who he thought he was?
The Chief Censor said, "Even Lord Wang believes in Taoist Li's ability. I am a little curious."
Wang Ren looked at the old face of the Chief Censor, curled his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Li has already calculated the talisman, why not let Master Li continue to calculate, so that this case can be resolved."
He looked as if he wanted to wrap up the case in a hurry.
Yang Wenjing frowned and said, "Young Marquis is dissatisfied."
Wang Ren immediately said seriously: "Old Yang, please don't harm me. How could I not believe in Taoist Li's ability? Taoist Li is here with me, but this."
He raised his thumb to let others know what he thought, but with his nonchalant look, it seemed like he was mocking others.
The Chief Censor could not tell whether the young marquis was praising the Taoist priest Li or satirizing the Ministry of Justice for listening to the decision of a Taoist priest even in such a case.
After Li Lezhi arrived, he looked at the three people with serious faces, two of whom he was familiar with. He nodded to them and stood quietly aside.
Only then did Wang Ren remember that he was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. If someone exposed him as the Minister of the Dali Temple, what if Taoist Li didn't like someone deceiving him?
Then he would be in danger.
The Chief Censor looked at Li Lezhi, the Taoist priest working in the Ministry of Justice. He was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe. He was a handsome man with an elegant appearance. If he took part in the imperial examination, he would definitely be the third place in the imperial examination that year.
The most rare thing is this man's temperament, which is ethereal and as if he is a banished immortal reborn. With his appearance and demeanor, even if he does not have much skill, just based on his appearance, people would think he is a master who has practiced Taoism for many years.
It’s just that he is very young, so people can’t be convinced that he has real ability. Instead, people would think he is a charlatan who is deliberately disguising himself.
Even he had some doubts about whether this Taoist Li had real abilities or was just pretending.
It is rare among Taoists and also rare among ordinary people. When the real is also fake, the fake is also real, who can tell the real from the fake?
The Imperial Censor said, "Master Li, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to calculate whether this girl in front of you is a talisman."
He was very curious about how this Taoist Priest Li calculated. However, when Li Le only took out the tortoise shell for calculation, the Chief Censor's eyes were confused. This Taoist Priest Li, who seemed to have extraordinary Taoist skills, actually also needed to use tortoise shells?
Could it be that people as powerful as them couldn't just calculate it, or just take a glance and know the result?
Or maybe he was wrong. The Taoist Priest Li in front of him was just extraordinary in bearing, and his ability was just that of an ordinary Taoist priest.
Yes, if he was really a powerful Taoist priest, he would not be working in the Ministry of Justice. He should have entered Xuanyang Palace to practice Taoism and go to the Worship Hall.
After the Chief Censor figured it out, he became much less interested in Li Lezhi and just sat there, waiting for the result.
When Wang Ren and Yang Wenjing saw Taoist Li take out the tortoise shell, they both looked puzzled. Taoist Li has always been simple and could get the answer directly through calculation, so why did he use the tortoise shell today?
Wang Ren thought more about it. Was it because he almost exposed the Taoist priest's identity before, and the Taoist priest used the tortoise shell disguise to cover it up?
No matter how they guessed, Li Le just took out the tortoise shell and threw it twice. This time he did not use fortune-telling, but tried to see what result he could get with the tortoise shell. Then, he calculated nothing and got no result.
Even though he knew this, Li Lezhi was still a little discouraged. After studying for so long, he still couldn't master it, so he had to use calculations again.
Li Le just said: "It's not her."
When the girl's name was calculated, two results appeared. Li Le could only guess that the girl must have changed her name, which happened to be Fuzhi, and was arrested by the military supervisor as a murderer.
"Where was the person caught?" Li Le just asked.
Wang Ren said, "We caught him in the Honglu Hall." He waved his hand, and the clerk came up to him. Wang Ren said, "Go and ask the military supervisor who caught him to come in."
The military supervisor walked in.
Wang Ren asked, "Are there any other female servants in the Hongluguan?"
The military supervisor said, "No."
"Really?" Wang Ren stopped smiling and asked seriously.
The military supervisor nodded.
After the military supervisor nodded, Wang Ren immediately stood up and asked, "Has anyone left the Hongluguan?"
Supervisor: “No.”
That was really strange. The people from the Honglu Pavilion had not left, but Taoist Li calculated that the murderer was in the Honglu Pavilion, and there was only a girl named Fu Zhi in the Honglu Pavilion.
Where did the murderer go?
The Imperial Censor said, "Could it be that the Taoist priest made a mistake in his calculations? The person is not in the Honglu Pavilion, and his name is not even Fuzhi. Or maybe this girl is the murderer."
The maid then realized that she was considered the murderer and immediately shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's really not me. I have never entered the palace, and I have never killed anyone."
The author has something to say
Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: Pluto, Mowei 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The two of them held their breath and looked at Gongsun Miaoran nervously.
Gongsun Miaoran stopped there and said, "There's a frightened horse over at the polo field."
Wang Ren, look at him like this?
A thought flashed through my mind.
Just a thought?
He raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Miaoran in surprise.
The military supervisor was mobilized and the horses were startled on the polo field. If it was someone else, why would Gongsun Miaoran be so cautious and not dare to speak out? This person can only be His Majesty.
Wang Ren said: "You mean..."
Gongsun Miaoran nodded.
It's really His Majesty. This is no small matter.
It is impossible that it was the prince who did this, this is too petty a trick.
Since Taoist Li said he had figured it out, the person who took action would not be the prince.
Who is it?
Or an accident?
Li Le was only slightly puzzled. The horses were startled in the horse farm, and then what? The two in front of him were like riddlers, and they were halfway through their sentences. It couldn't be that the emperor was unlucky, fell off his horse, and was trampled by the horse...
It is unlucky to have this happen on your birthday, and it is also a disaster for horse owners.
Is this what he calculated?
Compared to the Prince's Palace Incident, it didn't seem like a big deal. With a big explosion happening in the past, this incident seemed too ordinary. Unless, the horse frightening incident was not an accident, but a human one.
Li Le took advantage of the fact that the two men didn't see him, put his hands in his sleeves, and calculated secretly. He wanted to figure out whether this was an accident or man-made.
After Li Lezhi figured it out, even though he had this thought, he couldn't help but feel frightened. If he calculated correctly, the horse was frightened by human beings.
So who took action?
Prince?
It shouldn't be the crown prince. The crown prince is the heir to the throne. If he really wants to seize the throne, why would he do something that has no 100% chance of success, such as killing the emperor?
Why did Wang Ren recall that the crown prince was going to coup? Did he really miscalculate the crown prince's coup?
So how much of the artificiality he calculated now is true?
Li Lezhi: …
He is starting to become bald. Fortunately, this important matter will not be assigned to him for fortune-telling. If it were really assigned to him, with his fortune-telling skills which are sometimes effective and sometimes not, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives because of this.

Hongluguan
The envoys from Jin State are staying here. Ever since Emperor Zhao fell off his horse due to fright at the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the prince of Jin State has not slept all night.
Listening to the noise outside, he looked at the woman in his room who was disguised as a maid of the embassy and asked, "How did you do it yesterday?"

Prince Jin State glanced at the woman behind him. She was from Zhao State. If they drove her out now, it would expose that there was something fishy going on in Jin State. He could only comfort himself that nothing would happen.
Just get through this period of wind.
They had calculated everything, even knew how far the Taoist priest of Daliang could predict, but the information was incomplete after all, and they didn't know that Li Lezhi already existed in Daliang.
They also wanted to leave Daliang as soon as the news passed.
Li Le only went to the Ministry of Justice and saw officials of all ranks who were detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison. He heard that some people were also detained in the Dali Temple. What he saw was not all.
After sighing for a while, Li Le began to calculate whether the people in the Imperial Stables Bureau were hiding the murderer, but in the end he found that there was no murderer.
He told the result to Minister Zhou, and then calculated who had drugged her, and found out it was a woman named Fu Zhi.
As soon as this name came out, Minister Zhou immediately sent people to check whether there was any prisoner named Fu Zhi among them.
After a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple did not find any woman named Fu Zhi. Although Minister Zhou knew Li Lezhi's ability, this matter was very serious, so he had to report it to Minister Yang.
Yang Wenjing also knew Li Le's ability. After stroking his beard, he finally told the matter to the right prime minister Gongsun Gu.
Gongsun Gu learned that it was Taoist Li who came up with the idea of thoroughly investigating a girl named Fu Zhi.
The prince of Jin State also knew this news. After he informed the leader of Yinsha about it, he asked, "Your name is Fuzhi?"
Fu Zhi was shocked, stood up and said, "Impossible."
How could the people from Daliang find out her name? Not many people knew her name. Could it be that someone in Zhaoguo's Hidden Killing Guard betrayed her?
There was a flash of murderous intent in Fu Zhi's eyes. Her identity had been exposed. The person who betrayed her might not want her to go back alive. Or, the moment she accepted the mission to assassinate Emperor Zhao, someone tipped off the people in Daliang.
Therefore, the people of Daliang would guard strictly at the Qianqiu Banquet. If she had not found an opportunity, there would be no way to hurt Emperor Zhao.
She wanted to take this news back to Zhaoguo.
Let Your Majesty thoroughly investigate the traitors who betrayed Zhaoguo.
Fu Zhi said, "You arrange for someone to cover me. I will leave as soon as possible while they are still not paying attention to the Honglu Hall. I will definitely tell His Majesty about your help to my Zhao State. When Zhao State conquers Daliang in the future, your Jin State will definitely benefit from it."
"They are investigating thoroughly now. I will help you if they find out that you are from Jin State." The prince of Jin State hesitated and said, "You are very good at disguising yourself. They won't find out that you are Fu Zhi. Why don't you wait until we return to the country and leave together?"
Fu Zhi: “No need.”
The person who betrayed her would definitely tell her about the alliance between Zhao and Jin. If she continued to sit there and wait for death, she would only be caught by Daliang.
Previously, he stayed in the Jin State delegation and came to the Honglu Pavilion to avoid search. Now it is not easy to get out.
Before Fu Zhi could find a way to leave, the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded by military supervisors, and not even a fly could fly out.
This was a good opportunity for the military supervisors to redeem themselves from their crimes and make meritorious contributions. No one dared to neglect his duty and wanted to receive the fifty military sticks.
Fu Zhi was shocked when she learned that the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded. Sure enough, the person who betrayed her also sold the news of Jin State to Daliang. Now it was not easy for her to leave.
Fu Zhi thought of the maid she replaced. After speaking to Prince Jin, she disguised herself as a eunuch beside Prince Jin and changed into the eunuch's clothes.
And that female servant was Fu Zhi.
When the maid was captured, Fu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. This maid was bought from the Daliang agent after Jin Guo came to Daliang. The prince of Jin Guo used her as a maid to cover up for her.
Now, the people from Daliang have captured the people from Daliang, and that person has become her scapegoat. Once this matter is settled, she will be able to escape and return to Zhao State.
When the maid was caught, she said, "Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
The military supervisor who took her away said nothing but took her to the Ministry of Justice. When Yang Wenjing learned that the woman named Fu Zhi was arrested, he looked at the weak girl in front of him and could not imagine that this was someone who would assassinate His Majesty in the palace.
Don't judge a person by appearance. The seemingly weak ones are just disguises of these killers. Yang Wenjing asked, "Are you Fu Zhi?"
The maid cried, "Sir, I am not a talisman. I am innocent. Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
"He is facing death but still refuses to repent," said the Chief Censor.
Wang Rendao: "From your accent, you are from Hangzhou?"
"Yes, sir," the maid said, "I came from Hangzhou, but I was cheated of all my money on the way here, and finally I was cheated by the people in the pimp's office. I was about to be scolded and sent to a brothel when someone rescued me."
Wang Ren said, "Go ask the military supervisor guarding the gate to come and identify the man."
After a while, the military supervisor came over and Wang Ren asked, "Do you remember this face?"
The military supervisor said, "Remember, this man entered the palace with the envoys."
After hearing this, the maid immediately said, "Sir, I have never been to the palace. I have always stayed in the room and have never been anywhere else."
Hearing her crying, Yang Wenjing frowned and asked, "You said you stayed in the room the whole time?"
The maid nodded repeatedly.
"The young master who bought me never summoned me. He just asked me to stay in my room. I really never entered the palace."
"This is a strange thing. Why don't we ask Taoist Li to come and calculate it?"
The Chief Censor raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Ren, and was somewhat curious about the Taoist Master Li he mentioned.
I heard that after this Taoist priest Li came to the Ministry of Justice, he helped the ministry solve many cases. Even the name Fu Zhi was calculated by that Taoist priest.
Fu Zhi was not found inside or outside the palace, and the Ministry of Justice suddenly said that Fu Zhi was hiding in the Honglu Pavilion.
The person who could make the Ministry of Justice say this must be that Taoist Priest Li.
Could that person really have calculated to such an extent? Or was this the Ministry of Justice trying to build momentum for him, hoping to use this opportunity to get the Taoist priest into the worship hall, so that in the future, they could use the Taoist priest's reputation to detain people even if there was insufficient evidence.
If this is true, the Ministry of Justice is really planning a big game, hoping to use this Taoist priest to suppress the two departments. I don't know if this is Yang Wenjing's plan.
If it really comes to that, there will be no need for the Dali Temple and the Censorate, as his Ministry of Justice will have absolute power.
After thinking this, the Chief Censor became wary of Li Le.
It would be fine if the Taoist Li had real ability, but if not, he would risk his life to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Justice.
But the Chief Censor didn't understand that what he could see, the young marquis might also be able to see.
Since the young marquis wanted to ask the Taoist priest to come and do a fortune-telling, did he want to see his abilities or did he really believe that the Taoist priest had real abilities? Or maybe the Taoist priest was not who he thought he was?
The Chief Censor said, "Even Lord Wang believes in Taoist Li's ability. I am a little curious."
Wang Ren looked at the old face of the Chief Censor, curled his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Li has already calculated the talisman, why not let Master Li continue to calculate, so that this case can be resolved."
He looked as if he wanted to wrap up the case in a hurry.
Yang Wenjing frowned and said, "Young Marquis is dissatisfied."
Wang Ren immediately said seriously: "Old Yang, please don't harm me. How could I not believe in Taoist Li's ability? Taoist Li is here with me, but this."
He raised his thumb to let others know what he thought, but with his nonchalant look, it seemed like he was mocking others.
The Chief Censor could not tell whether the young marquis was praising the Taoist priest Li or satirizing the Ministry of Justice for listening to the decision of a Taoist priest even in such a case.
After Li Lezhi arrived, he looked at the three people with serious faces, two of whom he was familiar with. He nodded to them and stood quietly aside.
Only then did Wang Ren remember that he was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. If someone exposed him as the Minister of the Dali Temple, what if Taoist Li didn't like someone deceiving him?
Then he would be in danger.
The Chief Censor looked at Li Lezhi, the Taoist priest working in the Ministry of Justice. He was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe. He was a handsome man with an elegant appearance. If he took part in the imperial examination, he would definitely be the third place in the imperial examination that year.
The most rare thing is this man's temperament, which is ethereal and as if he is a banished immortal reborn. With his appearance and demeanor, even if he does not have much skill, just based on his appearance, people would think he is a master who has practiced Taoism for many years.
It’s just that he is very young, so people can’t be convinced that he has real ability. Instead, people would think he is a charlatan who is deliberately disguising himself.
Even he had some doubts about whether this Taoist Li had real abilities or was just pretending.
It is rare among Taoists and also rare among ordinary people. When the real is also fake, the fake is also real, who can tell the real from the fake?
The Imperial Censor said, "Master Li, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to calculate whether this girl in front of you is a talisman."
He was very curious about how this Taoist Priest Li calculated. However, when Li Le only took out the tortoise shell for calculation, the Chief Censor's eyes were confused. This Taoist Priest Li, who seemed to have extraordinary Taoist skills, actually also needed to use tortoise shells?
Could it be that people as powerful as them couldn't just calculate it, or just take a glance and know the result?
Or maybe he was wrong. The Taoist Priest Li in front of him was just extraordinary in bearing, and his ability was just that of an ordinary Taoist priest.
Yes, if he was really a powerful Taoist priest, he would not be working in the Ministry of Justice. He should have entered Xuanyang Palace to practice Taoism and go to the Worship Hall.
After the Chief Censor figured it out, he became much less interested in Li Lezhi and just sat there, waiting for the result.
When Wang Ren and Yang Wenjing saw Taoist Li take out the tortoise shell, they both looked puzzled. Taoist Li has always been simple and could get the answer directly through calculation, so why did he use the tortoise shell today?
Wang Ren thought more about it. Was it because he almost exposed the Taoist priest's identity before, and the Taoist priest used the tortoise shell disguise to cover it up?
No matter how they guessed, Li Le just took out the tortoise shell and threw it twice. This time he did not use fortune-telling, but tried to see what result he could get with the tortoise shell. Then, he calculated nothing and got no result.
Even though he knew this, Li Lezhi was still a little discouraged. After studying for so long, he still couldn't master it, so he had to use calculations again.
Li Le just said: "It's not her."
When the girl's name was calculated, two results appeared. Li Le could only guess that the girl must have changed her name, which happened to be Fuzhi, and was arrested by the military supervisor as a murderer.
"Where was the person caught?" Li Le just asked.
Wang Ren said, "We caught him in the Honglu Hall." He waved his hand, and the clerk came up to him. Wang Ren said, "Go and ask the military supervisor who caught him to come in."
The military supervisor walked in.
Wang Ren asked, "Are there any other female servants in the Hongluguan?"
The military supervisor said, "No."
"Really?" Wang Ren stopped smiling and asked seriously.
The military supervisor nodded.
After the military supervisor nodded, Wang Ren immediately stood up and asked, "Has anyone left the Hongluguan?"
Supervisor: “No.”
That was really strange. The people from the Honglu Pavilion had not left, but Taoist Li calculated that the murderer was in the Honglu Pavilion, and there was only a girl named Fu Zhi in the Honglu Pavilion.
Where did the murderer go?
The Imperial Censor said, "Could it be that the Taoist priest made a mistake in his calculations? The person is not in the Honglu Pavilion, and his name is not even Fuzhi. Or maybe this girl is the murderer."
The maid then realized that she was considered the murderer and immediately shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's really not me. I have never entered the palace, and I have never killed anyone."
The author has something to say
Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: Pluto, Mowei 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The two of them held their breath and looked at Gongsun Miaoran nervously.
Gongsun Miaoran stopped there and said, "There's a frightened horse over at the polo field."
Wang Ren looked at him like this▃_[(.)]▃4▃??▃?,
A thought flashed through my mind?
Just a thought?
He raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Miaoran in surprise.
The military supervisor was mobilized and the horses were startled on the polo field. If it was someone else, why would Gongsun Miaoran be so cautious and not dare to speak out? This person can only be His Majesty.
Wang Ren said: "You mean..."
Gongsun Miaoran nodded.
It's really His Majesty. This is no small matter.
It is impossible that it was the prince who did this, this is too petty a trick.
Since Taoist Li said he had figured it out, the person who took action would not be the prince.
Who is it?
Or an accident?
Li Le was only slightly puzzled. The horses were startled in the horse farm, and then what? The two in front of him were like riddlers, and they were halfway through their sentences. It couldn't be that the emperor was unlucky, fell off his horse, and was trampled by the horse...
It is unlucky to have this happen on your birthday, and it is also a disaster for horse owners.
Is this what he calculated?
Compared to the Prince's Palace Incident, it didn't seem like a big deal. With a big explosion happening in the past, this incident seemed too ordinary. Unless, the horse frightening incident was not an accident, but a human one.
Li Le took advantage of the fact that the two men didn't see him, put his hands in his sleeves, and calculated secretly. He wanted to figure out whether this was an accident or man-made.
After Li Lezhi figured it out, even though he had this thought, he couldn't help but feel frightened. If he calculated correctly, the horse was frightened by human beings.
So who took action?
Prince?
It shouldn't be the crown prince. The crown prince is the heir to the throne. If he really wants to seize the throne, why would he do something that has no 100% chance of success, such as killing the emperor?
Why did Wang Ren recall that the crown prince was going to coup? Did he really miscalculate the crown prince's coup?
So how much of the artificiality he calculated now is true?
Li Lezhi: …
He is starting to become bald. Fortunately, this important matter will not be assigned to him for fortune-telling. If it were really assigned to him, with his fortune-telling skills which are sometimes effective and sometimes not, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives because of this.
Fortunately, there are still national players. With that group of national players taking action, this matter will be resolved quickly, and he will also know whether his calculations are accurate.
Li Le just felt relieved, and then he saw the two people in front of him looking at him, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.
Li Le didn't dare to say anything, so he pretended that he didn't know about it and kept silent.
Not getting any results from him, Wang Ren and Gongsun Miaoran looked at each other, and Wang Ren asked, "Let's go take a look?"
Gongsun Miaoran nodded, "Okay."
The three of them walked out of the palace together. Although all the palace gates were strictly guarded by the military supervisors, Gongsun Miaoran and his companions were not heading towards the palace gates, so the military supervisors did not stop them.
When they arrived at the polo field, they saw a crowd of people there. No one looked happy, and some even looked a little panicked.
With such a big incident happening, all the palace servants were worried that they would be implicated and lose their lives.
And the horse was shot dead on the polo field. Li Le only saw this scene. Then, looking at the military supervisors surrounding the polo field, he once again felt how difficult it was to survive in ancient times.
If he wanted to survive in this place, he not only had to make himself valuable, but also had to have someone behind him to protect him. Otherwise, as a small Taoist priest, he would be treated as a pawn. Even if he had calculated it, his life and death would still depend on the emperor's decision.
Not only the emperor, but also the princes and nobles could easily take his life.
He was able to survive by pretending to be a liar, so he pretended to be a big shot. After being exposed by Gongsun Miaoran, he successfully obtained the documents with the help of County Magistrate Hu, and was able to report to the Chongxuan Office and become a recorded Taoist priest.
This also allowed him to avoid a lot of difficulties, but afterwards, Li Le only looked in the direction of Gongsun Miaoran. Was he going to join the prince in the future?
If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will be the next emperor, so it is necessary to establish good relations in advance.
Li Le thought a lot, and after he left the palace and returned home, he was still thinking about this matter and couldn't make a decision.
Logically, he should stand on the side of the emperor, but he can't get in touch with him now. The only person he can get in touch with is Gongsun Miaoran. It is very difficult for him to establish a relationship with the prince. If he stands on the side of the prince, he will offend other princes.
He cannot have irreplaceable value, and even if he surrenders to the prince, he is just an insignificant pawn.
Li Le only told the fortune for himself. He didn't tell anything else. He just told the fortune about who will ascend the throne in the future.
Zhao Cong.
After Li Le figured out this result, he fell silent. He really didn't know what the names of those princes were.
It is not certain that he can figure out the prince's name. Only after he has met the prince can he be 100% sure.
Since he has calculated the future emperor, he can just curry favor with him later. Now he should just go to bed as he has to go on duty tomorrow. He doesn’t know what the outcome of the frightened horse incident will be.
The next day, when Li Lezhi went to work, he saw the people in the Ministry of Justice busying around and knew that they were still conducting a thorough investigation.
Li Le was just surprised. If he didn't let the national expert calculate this kind of thing, wouldn't it be quicker to find out if he did?
After seeing Li Lezhi, the doctor thought of the divinations Li Lezhi had done and felt that he was truly an expert who could even predict that bad things would happen on July 15th. It was likely that Taoist Li would know at that time that the horse would be frightened.
The doctor of the Bibu Department was even more frightened when he thought about this. If His Majesty knew that he knew about it and did not report it, his life would be in danger. Fortunately, only he and Taoist Li knew about this, so His Majesty was not in any danger.
Otherwise, he really couldn't eat or sleep well.
Every day I wonder if I will be thrown into the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice came forward and whispered, "Master Li, you are finally here. The people from the Ministry of Justice are waiting for you."
"Huh?" Li Le was just confused.
"It has been found that the incident that happened in the palace yesterday was man-made. The horse was drugged. However, the Ministry of Justice has not yet found out who drugged it. They are very worried. All the people in the Imperial Horse Bureau are imprisoned, waiting to find the murderer. Okay..."
The doctor wiped his neck.
Li Le just understood that his calculation yesterday was correct. He asked: "How did the medicine get into the palace?"
"This matter is still under investigation, but the military supervisor who was guarding the gate yesterday was led by Lord Wang. Lord Wang is also investigating the military supervisor thoroughly, trying to find out who let the person into the palace. Even the Imperial Medical Bureau was thoroughly investigated, but the source of the medicine was not found. The eunuchs in the palace also searched thoroughly, but found nothing."
"Can't find the source of the medicine?"
This is impossible. Given the strict security of the imperial palace, it is not easy to hide the medicine. Unless the person left the palace after administering the medicine, then how did the medicine get into the palace?
"Will it count if we don't invite the Taoist priest?" When it comes to the emperor, those national masters will always take action.
"Well, I don't know either," the doctor looked at Li Le and said, "Master Li, you are the only one in the Ministry of Justice who can do this."
so?
The so-called seeking help from a Taoist priest, but ended up finding fault with him?
Hongluguan
The envoys from Jin State are staying here. Ever since Emperor Zhao fell off his horse due to fright at the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the prince of Jin State has not slept all night.
Listening to the noise outside, he looked at the woman in his room who was disguised as a maid of the embassy and asked, "How did you do it yesterday?"
"Your Highness, please don't be too curious. I have my own way. But you guys, please don't expose yourself."
Prince Jinguo frowned, looking thoughtful. Originally, they wanted to send the person and the treasure into the palace together, and then have the girl disguise herself as a beastmaster and borrow the power of the big cat to harm the life of Emperor Zhao.
However, as the Qianqiu era approached, the guards at the Imperial Palace became tighter, and it was not easy for them to sneak someone in. Fortunately, this person was good at disguise and was able to disguise himself as a female messenger in his delegation.
Only then can you sneak into the Qianqiu Banquet.
But he didn't know what this man did later. He just didn't expect that the assassin sent by Zhao State to assassinate Emperor Zhao would scare the horse and trample Emperor Zhao to death.
It's too much of a joke.
The prince of Jin State asked doubtfully, "Are you really the leader of the Hidden Assassination?"
"..." The man said, "You guys leaked the news. There is nothing we can do about it. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan saving the emperor, if the emperor Zhao was trampled by the horse's hooves yesterday, he would have been seriously injured and his internal organs would have been shattered. How could he have survived?"
"It's impossible that we leaked the news," Prince Jinguo seemed to have thought of something. His face darkened and he said, "Leave the Hongluguan immediately. I don't care where you go, but don't let the people of Daliang find out that you are here."
"Don't worry, they can't find out. Those priests have some means, but if they want to arrest you without evidence, they will lose face. What's more, can any of them figure out that it was me who did it, and can they also figure out your Jin Kingdom?"
"Those people yesterday were Taoist priests who passed through Daliang. They are nothing to worry about. Besides, the Taoist priest who calculated the flood has been killed by our people."
After hearing this, Prince Jin put aside his worries, but he always felt that this matter was not that simple.
His intuition told him that if he didn't leave Daliang as soon as possible, he might not have the chance to leave in the future.
Prince Jin State glanced at the woman behind him. She was from Zhao State. If they drove her out now, it would expose that there was something fishy going on in Jin State. He could only comfort himself that nothing would happen.

Fu Zhi was shocked, stood up and said, "Impossible."

Fu Zhi: “No need.”

Only then did Wang Ren remember that he was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. If someone exposed him as the Minister of the Dali Temple, what if Taoist Li didn't like someone deceiving him?
Then he would be in danger.
The Chief Censor looked at Li Lezhi, the Taoist priest working in the Ministry of Justice. He was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe. He was a handsome man with an elegant appearance. If he took part in the imperial examination, he would definitely be the third place in the imperial examination that year.
The most rare thing is this man's temperament, which is ethereal and as if he is a banished immortal reborn. With his appearance and demeanor, even if he does not have much skill, just based on his appearance, people would think he is a master who has practiced Taoism for many years.
It’s just that he is very young, so people can’t be convinced that he has real ability. Instead, people would think he is a charlatan who is deliberately disguising himself.
Even he had some doubts about whether this Taoist Li had real abilities or was just pretending.
It is rare among Taoists and also rare among ordinary people. When the real is also fake, the fake is also real, who can tell the real from the fake?
The Imperial Censor said, "Master Li, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to calculate whether this girl in front of you is a talisman."
He was very curious about how this Taoist Priest Li calculated. However, when Li Le only took out the tortoise shell for calculation, the Chief Censor's eyes were confused. This Taoist Priest Li, who seemed to have extraordinary Taoist skills, actually also needed to use tortoise shells?
Could it be that people as powerful as them couldn't just calculate it, or just take a glance and know the result?
Or maybe he was wrong. The Taoist Priest Li in front of him was just extraordinary in bearing, and his ability was just that of an ordinary Taoist priest.
Yes, if he was really a powerful Taoist priest, he would not be working in the Ministry of Justice. He should have entered Xuanyang Palace to practice Taoism and go to the Worship Hall.
After the Chief Censor figured it out, he became much less interested in Li Lezhi and just sat there, waiting for the result.
When Wang Ren and Yang Wenjing saw Taoist Li take out the tortoise shell, they both looked puzzled. Taoist Li has always been simple and could get the answer directly through calculation, so why did he use the tortoise shell today?
Wang Ren thought more about it. Was it because he almost exposed the Taoist priest's identity before, and the Taoist priest used the tortoise shell disguise to cover it up?
No matter how they guessed, Li Le just took out the tortoise shell and threw it twice. This time he did not use fortune-telling, but tried to see what result he could get with the tortoise shell. Then, he calculated nothing and got no result.
Even though he knew this, Li Lezhi was still a little discouraged. After studying for so long, he still couldn't master it, so he had to use calculations again.
Li Le just said: "It's not her."
When the girl's name was calculated, two results appeared. Li Le could only guess that the girl must have changed her name, which happened to be Fuzhi, and was arrested by the military supervisor as a murderer.
"Where was the person caught?" Li Le just asked.
Wang Ren said, "We caught him in the Honglu Hall." He waved his hand, and the clerk came up to him. Wang Ren said, "Go and ask the military supervisor who caught him to come in."
The military supervisor walked in.
Wang Ren asked, "Are there any other female servants in the Hongluguan?"
The military supervisor said, "No."
"Really?" Wang Ren stopped smiling and asked seriously.
The military supervisor nodded.
After the military supervisor nodded, Wang Ren immediately stood up and asked, "Has anyone left the Hongluguan?"
Supervisor: “No.”
That was really strange. The people from the Honglu Pavilion had not left, but Taoist Li calculated that the murderer was in the Honglu Pavilion, and there was only a girl named Fu Zhi in the Honglu Pavilion.
Where did the murderer go?
The Imperial Censor said, "Could it be that the Taoist priest made a mistake in his calculations? The person is not in the Honglu Pavilion, and his name is not even Fuzhi. Or maybe this girl is the murderer."
The maid then realized that she was considered the murderer and immediately shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's really not me. I have never entered the palace, and I have never killed anyone."
The author has something to say
Thanks to the little angels who irrigated the nutrient solution: Pluto, Mowei 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The two of them held their breath and looked at Gongsun Miaoran nervously. ?
Gongsun Miaoran stopped there and said, "There's a frightened horse on the polo field."
When Wang Ren saw him like this, an idea flashed through his mind. As soon as the thought came to his mind, he raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Miaoran in surprise.
?The author Feng Chui Lin An reminds you that "The Ordinary Me Was Respected as the National Master" will update the latest chapters at .? as soon as possible, remember [(.)]?1?♀?♀??
The military supervisor was mobilized, and the horses were startled on the polo field. If it was someone else, why would Gongsun Miaoran be so cautious and dare not speak out? This person can only be His Majesty. ?
Wang Ren said: "You mean..."
Gongsun Miaoran nodded.
It turned out to be His Majesty. This is no small matter. It is impossible that it was done by the Crown Prince. This is too petty a trick.
Since Taoist Li said he had figured it out, the person who took action would not be the prince.
Who is it?
Or an accident?
Li Le was only slightly puzzled. The horses were startled in the horse farm, and then what? The two in front of him were like riddlers, and they were halfway through their sentences. It couldn't be that the emperor was unlucky, fell off his horse, and was trampled by the horse...
It is unlucky to have this happen on your birthday, and it is also a disaster for horse owners.
Is this what he calculated?
Compared to the Prince's Palace Incident, it didn't seem like a big deal. With a big explosion happening in the past, this incident seemed too ordinary. Unless, the horse frightening incident was not an accident, but a human one.
Li Le took advantage of the fact that the two men didn't see him, put his hands in his sleeves, and calculated secretly. He wanted to figure out whether this was an accident or man-made.
After Li Lezhi figured it out, even though he had this thought, he couldn't help but feel frightened. If he calculated correctly, the horse was frightened by human beings.
So who took action?
Prince?
It shouldn't be the crown prince. The crown prince is the heir to the throne. If he really wants to seize the throne, why would he do something that has no 100% chance of success, such as killing the emperor?
Why did Wang Ren recall that the crown prince was going to coup? Did he really miscalculate the crown prince's coup?
So how much of the artificiality he calculated now is true?
Li Lezhi: …
He is starting to become bald. Fortunately, this important matter will not be assigned to him for fortune-telling. If it were really assigned to him, with his fortune-telling skills which are sometimes effective and sometimes not, I don't know how many people would have lost their lives because of this.
Fortunately, there are still national players. With that group of national players taking action, this matter will be resolved quickly, and he will also know whether his calculations are accurate.
Li Le just felt relieved, and then he saw the two people in front of him looking at him, as if they wanted to get an answer from him.
Li Le didn't dare to say anything, so he pretended that he didn't know about it and kept silent.
Not getting any results from him, Wang Ren and Gongsun Miaoran looked at each other, and Wang Ren asked, "Let's go take a look?"
Gongsun Miaoran nodded, "Okay."
The three of them walked out of the palace together. Although all the palace gates were strictly guarded by the military supervisors, Gongsun Miaoran and his companions were not heading towards the palace gates, so the military supervisors did not stop them.
When they arrived at the polo field, they saw a crowd of people there. No one looked happy, and some even looked a little panicked.
With such a big incident happening, all the palace servants were worried that they would be implicated and lose their lives.
And the horse was shot dead on the polo field. Li Le only saw this scene. Then, looking at the military supervisors surrounding the polo field, he once again felt how difficult it was to survive in ancient times.
If he wanted to survive in this place, he not only had to make himself valuable, but also had to have someone behind him to protect him. Otherwise, as a small Taoist priest, he would be treated as a pawn. Even if he had calculated it, his life and death would still depend on the emperor's decision.
Not only the emperor, but also the princes and nobles could easily take his life.
He was able to survive by pretending to be a liar, so he pretended to be a big shot. After being exposed by Gongsun Miaoran, he successfully obtained the documents with the help of County Magistrate Hu, and was able to report to the Chongxuan Office and become a recorded Taoist priest.
This also allowed him to avoid a lot of difficulties, but afterwards, Li Le only looked in the direction of Gongsun Miaoran. Was he going to join the prince in the future?
If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will be the next emperor, so it is necessary to establish good relations in advance.
Li Le thought a lot, and after he left the palace and returned home, he was still thinking about this matter and couldn't make a decision.
Logically, he should stand on the side of the emperor, but he can't get in touch with him now. The only person he can get in touch with is Gongsun Miaoran. It is very difficult for him to establish a relationship with the prince. If he stands on the side of the prince, he will offend other princes.
He cannot have irreplaceable value, and even if he surrenders to the prince, he is just an insignificant pawn.
Li Le only told the fortune for himself. He didn't tell anything else. He just told the fortune about who will ascend the throne in the future.
Zhao Cong.
After Li Le figured out this result, he fell silent. He really didn't know what the names of those princes were.
It is not certain that he can figure out the prince's name. Only after he has met the prince can he be 100% sure.
Since he has calculated the future emperor, he can just curry favor with him later. Now he should just go to bed as he has to go on duty tomorrow. He doesn’t know what the outcome of the frightened horse incident will be.
The next day, when Li Lezhi went to work, he saw the people in the Ministry of Justice busying around and knew that they were still conducting a thorough investigation.
Li Le was just surprised. If he didn't let the national expert calculate this kind of thing, wouldn't it be quicker to find out if he did?
After seeing Li Lezhi, the doctor thought of the divinations Li Lezhi had done and felt that he was truly an expert who could even predict that bad things would happen on July 15th. It was likely that Taoist Li would know at that time that the horse would be frightened.
The doctor of the Bibu Department was even more frightened when he thought about this. If His Majesty knew that he knew about it and did not report it, his life would be in danger. Fortunately, only he and Taoist Li knew about this, so His Majesty was not in any danger.
Otherwise, he really couldn't eat or sleep well.
Every day I wonder if I will be thrown into the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice came forward and whispered, "Master Li, you are finally here. The people from the Ministry of Justice are waiting for you."
"Huh?" Li Le was just confused.
"It has been found that the incident that happened in the palace yesterday was man-made. The horse was drugged. However, the Ministry of Justice has not yet found out who drugged it. They are very worried. All the people in the Imperial Horse Bureau are imprisoned, waiting to find the murderer. Okay..."
The doctor wiped his neck.
Li Le just understood that his calculation yesterday was correct. He asked: "How did the medicine get into the palace?"
"This matter is still under investigation, but the military supervisor who was guarding the gate yesterday was led by Lord Wang. Lord Wang is also investigating the military supervisor thoroughly, trying to find out who let the person into the palace. Even the Imperial Medical Bureau was thoroughly investigated, but the source of the medicine was not found. The eunuchs in the palace also searched thoroughly, but found nothing."
"Can't find the source of the medicine?"
This is impossible. Given the strict security of the imperial palace, it is not easy to hide the medicine. Unless the person left the palace after administering the medicine, then how did the medicine get into the palace?
"Will it count if we don't invite the Taoist priest?" When it comes to the emperor, those national masters will always take action.
"Well, I don't know either," the doctor looked at Li Le and said, "Master Li, you are the only one in the Ministry of Justice who can do this."
so?
The so-called seeking help from a Taoist priest, but ended up finding fault with him?
Hongluguan
The envoys from Jin State are staying here. Ever since Emperor Zhao fell off his horse due to fright at the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the prince of Jin State has not slept all night.
Listening to the noise outside, he looked at the woman in his room who was disguised as a maid of the embassy and asked, "How did you do it yesterday?"
"Your Highness, please don't be too curious. I have my own way. But you guys, please don't expose yourself."
Prince Jinguo frowned, looking thoughtful. Originally, they wanted to send the person and the treasure into the palace together, and then have the girl disguise herself as a beastmaster and borrow the power of the big cat to harm the life of Emperor Zhao.
However, as the Qianqiu era approached, the guards at the Imperial Palace became tighter, and it was not easy for them to sneak someone in. Fortunately, this person was good at disguise and was able to disguise himself as a female messenger in his delegation.
Only then can you sneak into the Qianqiu Banquet.
But he didn't know what this man did later. He just didn't expect that the assassin sent by Zhao State to assassinate Emperor Zhao would scare the horse and trample Emperor Zhao to death.
It's too much of a joke.
The prince of Jin State asked doubtfully, "Are you really the leader of the Hidden Assassination?"
"..." The man said, "You guys leaked the news. There is nothing we can do about it. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan saving the emperor, if the emperor Zhao was trampled by the horse's hooves yesterday, he would have been seriously injured and his internal organs would have been shattered. How could he have survived?"
"It's impossible that we leaked the news," Prince Jinguo seemed to have thought of something. His face darkened and he said, "Leave the Hongluguan immediately. I don't care where you go, but don't let the people of Daliang find out that you are here."
"Don't worry, they can't find out. Those priests have some means, but if they want to arrest you without evidence, they will lose face. What's more, can any of them figure out that it was me who did it, and can they also figure out your Jin Kingdom?"
"Those people yesterday were Taoist priests who passed through Daliang. They are nothing to worry about. Besides, the Taoist priest who calculated the flood has been killed by our people."
After hearing this, Prince Jin put aside his worries, but he always felt that this matter was not that simple.
His intuition told him that if he didn't leave Daliang as soon as possible, he might not have the chance to leave in the future.
Prince Jin State glanced at the woman behind him. She was from Zhao State. If they drove her out now, it would expose that there was something fishy going on in Jin State. He could only comfort himself that nothing would happen.
Just get through this period of wind.
They had calculated everything, even knew how far the Taoist priest of Daliang could predict, but the information was incomplete after all, and they didn't know that Li Lezhi already existed in Daliang.
They also wanted to leave Daliang as soon as the news passed.
Li Le only went to the Ministry of Justice and saw officials of all ranks who were detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison. He heard that some people were also detained in the Dali Temple. What he saw was not all.
After sighing for a while, Li Le began to calculate whether the people in the Imperial Stables Bureau were hiding the murderer, but in the end he found that there was no murderer.
He told the result to Minister Zhou, and then calculated who had drugged her, and found out it was a woman named Fu Zhi.
As soon as this name came out, Minister Zhou immediately sent people to check whether there was any prisoner named Fu Zhi among them.
After a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple did not find any woman named Fu Zhi. Although Minister Zhou knew Li Lezhi's ability, this matter was very serious, so he had to report it to Minister Yang.
Yang Wenjing also knew Li Le's ability. After stroking his beard, he finally told the matter to the right prime minister Gongsun Gu.
Gongsun Gu learned that it was Taoist Li who came up with the idea of thoroughly investigating a girl named Fu Zhi.
The prince of Jin State also knew this news. After he informed the leader of Yinsha about it, he asked, "Your name is Fuzhi?"
Fu Zhi was shocked, stood up and said, "Impossible."
How could the people from Daliang find out her name? Not many people knew her name. Could it be that someone in Zhaoguo's Hidden Killing Guard betrayed her?
There was a flash of murderous intent in Fu Zhi's eyes. Her identity had been exposed. The person who betrayed her might not want her to go back alive. Or, the moment she accepted the mission to assassinate Emperor Zhao, someone tipped off the people in Daliang.
Therefore, the people of Daliang would guard strictly at the Qianqiu Banquet. If she had not found an opportunity, there would be no way to hurt Emperor Zhao.
She wanted to take this news back to Zhaoguo.
Let Your Majesty thoroughly investigate the traitors who betrayed Zhaoguo.
Fu Zhi said, "You arrange for someone to cover me. I will leave as soon as possible while they are still not paying attention to the Honglu Hall. I will definitely tell His Majesty about your help to my Zhao State. When Zhao State conquers Daliang in the future, your Jin State will definitely benefit from it."
"They are investigating thoroughly now. I will help you if they find out that you are from Jin State." The prince of Jin State hesitated and said, "You are very good at disguising yourself. They won't find out that you are Fu Zhi. Why don't you wait until we return to the country and leave together?"
Fu Zhi: “No need.”
The person who betrayed her would definitely tell her about the alliance between Zhao and Jin. If she continued to sit there and wait for death, she would only be caught by Daliang.
Previously, he stayed in the Jin State delegation and came to the Honglu Pavilion to avoid search. Now it is not easy to get out.
Before Fu Zhi could find a way to leave, the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded by military supervisors, and not even a fly could fly out.
This was a good opportunity for the military supervisors to redeem themselves from their crimes and make meritorious contributions. No one dared to neglect his duty and wanted to receive the fifty military sticks.
Fu Zhi was shocked when she learned that the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded. Sure enough, the person who betrayed her also sold the news of Jin State to Daliang. Now it was not easy for her to leave.
Fu Zhi thought of the maid she replaced. After speaking to Prince Jin, she disguised herself as a eunuch beside Prince Jin and changed into the eunuch's clothes.
And that female servant was Fu Zhi.
When the maid was captured, Fu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. This maid was bought from the Daliang agent after Jin Guo came to Daliang. The prince of Jin Guo used her as a maid to cover up for her.
Now, the people from Daliang have captured the people from Daliang, and that person has become her scapegoat. Once this matter is settled, she will be able to escape and return to Zhao State.
When the maid was caught, she said, "Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
The military supervisor who took her away said nothing but took her to the Ministry of Justice. When Yang Wenjing learned that the woman named Fu Zhi was arrested, he looked at the weak girl in front of him and could not imagine that this was someone who would assassinate His Majesty in the palace.
Don't judge a person by appearance. The seemingly weak ones are just disguises of these killers. Yang Wenjing asked, "Are you Fu Zhi?"
The maid cried, "Sir, I am not a talisman. I am innocent. Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
"He is facing death but still refuses to repent," said the Chief Censor.
Wang Rendao: "From your accent, you are from Hangzhou?"
"Yes, sir," the maid said, "I came from Hangzhou, but I was cheated of all my money on the way here, and finally I was cheated by the people in the pimp's office. I was about to be scolded and sent to a brothel when someone rescued me."
Wang Ren said, "Go ask the military supervisor guarding the gate to come and identify the man."
After a while, the military supervisor came over and Wang Ren asked, "Do you remember this face?"
The military supervisor said, "Remember, this man entered the palace with the envoys."
After hearing this, the maid immediately said, "Sir, I have never been to the palace. I have always stayed in the room and have never been anywhere else."
Hearing her crying, Yang Wenjing frowned and asked, "You said you stayed in the room the whole time?"
The maid nodded repeatedly.
"The young master who bought me never summoned me. He just asked me to stay in my room. I really never entered the palace."
"This is a strange thing. Why don't we ask Taoist Li to come and calculate it?"
The Chief Censor raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Ren, and was somewhat curious about the Taoist Master Li he mentioned.
I heard that after this Taoist priest Li came to the Ministry of Justice, he helped the ministry solve many cases. Even the name Fu Zhi was calculated by that Taoist priest.
Fu Zhi was not found inside or outside the palace, and the Ministry of Justice suddenly said that Fu Zhi was hiding in the Honglu Pavilion.
The person who could make the Ministry of Justice say this must be that Taoist Priest Li.
Could that person really have calculated to such an extent? Or was this the Ministry of Justice trying to build momentum for him, hoping to use this opportunity to get the Taoist priest into the worship hall, so that in the future, they could use the Taoist priest's reputation to detain people even if there was insufficient evidence.
If this is true, the Ministry of Justice is really planning a big game, hoping to use this Taoist priest to suppress the two departments. I don't know if this is Yang Wenjing's plan.
If it really comes to that, there will be no need for the Dali Temple and the Censorate, as his Ministry of Justice will have absolute power.
After thinking this, the Chief Censor became wary of Li Le.
It would be fine if the Taoist Li had real ability, but if not, he would risk his life to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Justice.
But the Chief Censor didn't understand that what he could see, the young marquis might also be able to see.
Since the young marquis wanted to ask the Taoist priest to come and do a fortune-telling, did he want to see his abilities or did he really believe that the Taoist priest had real abilities? Or maybe the Taoist priest was not who he thought he was?
The Chief Censor said, "Even Lord Wang believes in Taoist Li's ability. I am a little curious."
Wang Ren looked at the old face of the Chief Censor, curled his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Li has already calculated the talisman, why not let Master Li continue to calculate, so that this case can be resolved."
He looked as if he wanted to wrap up the case in a hurry.
Yang Wenjing frowned and said, "Young Marquis is dissatisfied."
Wang Ren immediately said seriously: "Old Yang, please don't harm me. How could I not believe in Taoist Li's ability? Taoist Li is here with me, but this."
He raised his thumb to let others know what he thought, but with his nonchalant look, it seemed like he was mocking others.
The Chief Censor could not tell whether the young marquis was praising the Taoist priest Li or satirizing the Ministry of Justice for listening to the decision of a Taoist priest even in such a case.
After Li Lezhi arrived, he looked at the three people with serious faces, two of whom he was familiar with. He nodded to them and stood quietly aside.

Yes, if he was really a powerful Taoist priest, he would not be working in the Ministry of Justice. He should have entered Xuanyang Palace to practice Taoism and go to the Worship Hall.

The two of them held their breath and looked at Gongsun Miaoran nervously. ?
Gongsun Miaoran stopped there and said, "There's a frightened horse over at the polo field."
?Feng Chui Lin An's work "The Ordinary Me is Worshipped as a National Master"??, domain name [(.)]?7?%?%??
Wang Ren looked at him like this, and an idea flashed through his mind. As soon as the idea came to his mind, he looked up at Gongsun Miaoran in surprise.

If he wanted to survive in this place, he not only had to make himself valuable, but also had to have someone behind him to protect him. Otherwise, as a small Taoist priest, he would be treated as a pawn. Even if he had calculated it, his life and death would still depend on the emperor's decision.
Not only the emperor, but also the princes and nobles could easily take his life.
He was able to survive by pretending to be a liar, so he pretended to be a big shot. After being exposed by Gongsun Miaoran, he successfully obtained the documents with the help of County Magistrate Hu, and was able to report to the Chongxuan Office and become a recorded Taoist priest.
This also allowed him to avoid a lot of difficulties, but afterwards, Li Le only looked in the direction of Gongsun Miaoran. Was he going to join the prince in the future?
If nothing unexpected happens, the prince will be the next emperor, so it is necessary to establish good relations in advance.
Li Le thought a lot, and after he left the palace and returned home, he was still thinking about this matter and couldn't make a decision.
Logically, he should stand on the side of the emperor, but he can't get in touch with him now. The only person he can get in touch with is Gongsun Miaoran. It is very difficult for him to establish a relationship with the prince. If he stands on the side of the prince, he will offend other princes.
He cannot have irreplaceable value, and even if he surrenders to the prince, he is just an insignificant pawn.
Li Le only told the fortune for himself. He didn't tell anything else. He just told the fortune about who will ascend the throne in the future.
Zhao Cong.
After Li Le figured out this result, he fell silent. He really didn't know what the names of those princes were.
It is not certain that he can figure out the prince's name. Only after he has met the prince can he be 100% sure.
Since he has calculated the future emperor, he can just curry favor with him later. Now he should just go to bed as he has to go on duty tomorrow. He doesn’t know what the outcome of the frightened horse incident will be.
The next day, when Li Lezhi went to work, he saw the people in the Ministry of Justice busying around and knew that they were still conducting a thorough investigation.
Li Le was just surprised. If he didn't let the national expert calculate this kind of thing, wouldn't it be quicker to find out if he did?
After seeing Li Lezhi, the doctor thought of the divinations Li Lezhi had done and felt that he was truly an expert who could even predict that bad things would happen on July 15th. It was likely that Taoist Li would know at that time that the horse would be frightened.
The doctor of the Bibu Department was even more frightened when he thought about this. If His Majesty knew that he knew about it and did not report it, his life would be in danger. Fortunately, only he and Taoist Li knew about this, so His Majesty was not in any danger.
Otherwise, he really couldn't eat or sleep well.
Every day I wonder if I will be thrown into the Ministry of Justice’s prison.
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice came forward and whispered, "Master Li, you are finally here. The people from the Ministry of Justice are waiting for you."
"Huh?" Li Le was just confused.
"It has been found that the incident that happened in the palace yesterday was man-made. The horse was drugged. However, the Ministry of Justice has not yet found out who drugged it. They are very worried. All the people in the Imperial Horse Bureau are imprisoned, waiting to find the murderer. Okay..."
The doctor wiped his neck.
Li Le just understood that his calculation yesterday was correct. He asked: "How did the medicine get into the palace?"
"This matter is still under investigation, but the military supervisor who was guarding the gate yesterday was led by Lord Wang. Lord Wang is also investigating the military supervisor thoroughly, trying to find out who let the person into the palace. Even the Imperial Medical Bureau was thoroughly investigated, but the source of the medicine was not found. The eunuchs in the palace also searched thoroughly, but found nothing."
"Can't find the source of the medicine?"
This is impossible. Given the strict security of the imperial palace, it is not easy to hide the medicine. Unless the person left the palace after administering the medicine, then how did the medicine get into the palace?
"Will it count if we don't invite the Taoist priest?" When it comes to the emperor, those national masters will always take action.
"Well, I don't know either," the doctor looked at Li Le and said, "Master Li, you are the only one in the Ministry of Justice who can do this."
so?
The so-called seeking help from a Taoist priest, but ended up finding fault with him?
Hongluguan
The envoys from Jin State are staying here. Ever since Emperor Zhao fell off his horse due to fright at the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the prince of Jin State has not slept all night.
Listening to the noise outside, he looked at the woman in his room who was disguised as a maid of the embassy and asked, "How did you do it yesterday?"
"Your Highness, please don't be too curious. I have my own way. But you guys, please don't expose yourself."
Prince Jinguo frowned, looking thoughtful. Originally, they wanted to send the person and the treasure into the palace together, and then have the girl disguise herself as a beastmaster and borrow the power of the big cat to harm the life of Emperor Zhao.
However, as the Qianqiu era approached, the guards at the Imperial Palace became tighter, and it was not easy for them to sneak someone in. Fortunately, this person was good at disguise and was able to disguise himself as a female messenger in his delegation.
Only then can you sneak into the Qianqiu Banquet.
But he didn't know what this man did later. He just didn't expect that the assassin sent by Zhao State to assassinate Emperor Zhao would scare the horse and trample Emperor Zhao to death.
It's too much of a joke.
The prince of Jin State asked doubtfully, "Are you really the leader of the Hidden Assassination?"
"..." The man said, "You guys leaked the news. There is nothing we can do about it. If it weren't for Xiao Xuan saving the emperor, if the emperor Zhao was trampled by the horse's hooves yesterday, he would have been seriously injured and his internal organs would have been shattered. How could he have survived?"
"It's impossible that we leaked the news," Prince Jinguo seemed to have thought of something. His face darkened and he said, "Leave the Hongluguan immediately. I don't care where you go, but don't let the people of Daliang find out that you are here."
"Don't worry, they can't find out. Those priests have some means, but if they want to arrest you without evidence, they will lose face. What's more, can any of them figure out that it was me who did it, and can they also figure out your Jin Kingdom?"
"Those people yesterday were Taoist priests who passed through Daliang. They are nothing to worry about. Besides, the Taoist priest who calculated the flood has been killed by our people."
After hearing this, Prince Jin put aside his worries, but he always felt that this matter was not that simple.
His intuition told him that if he didn't leave Daliang as soon as possible, he might not have the chance to leave in the future.
Prince Jin State glanced at the woman behind him. She was from Zhao State. If they drove her out now, it would expose that there was something fishy going on in Jin State. He could only comfort himself that nothing would happen.
Just get through this period of wind.
They had calculated everything, even knew how far the Taoist priest of Daliang could predict, but the information was incomplete after all, and they didn't know that Li Lezhi already existed in Daliang.
They also wanted to leave Daliang as soon as the news passed.
Li Le only went to the Ministry of Justice and saw officials of all ranks who were detained in the Ministry of Justice's prison. He heard that some people were also detained in the Dali Temple. What he saw was not all.
After sighing for a while, Li Le began to calculate whether the people in the Imperial Stables Bureau were hiding the murderer, but in the end he found that there was no murderer.
He told the result to Minister Zhou, and then calculated who had drugged her, and found out it was a woman named Fu Zhi.
As soon as this name came out, Minister Zhou immediately sent people to check whether there was any prisoner named Fu Zhi among them.
After a thorough investigation, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple did not find any woman named Fu Zhi. Although Minister Zhou knew Li Lezhi's ability, this matter was very serious, so he had to report it to Minister Yang.
Yang Wenjing also knew Li Le's ability. After stroking his beard, he finally told the matter to the right prime minister Gongsun Gu.
Gongsun Gu learned that it was Taoist Li who came up with the idea of thoroughly investigating a girl named Fu Zhi.
The prince of Jin State also knew this news. After he informed the leader of Yinsha about it, he asked, "Your name is Fuzhi?"
Fu Zhi was shocked, stood up and said, "Impossible."
How could the people from Daliang find out her name? Not many people knew her name. Could it be that someone in Zhaoguo's Hidden Killing Guard betrayed her?
There was a flash of murderous intent in Fu Zhi's eyes. Her identity had been exposed. The person who betrayed her might not want her to go back alive. Or, the moment she accepted the mission to assassinate Emperor Zhao, someone tipped off the people in Daliang.
Therefore, the people of Daliang would guard strictly at the Qianqiu Banquet. If she had not found an opportunity, there would be no way to hurt Emperor Zhao.
She wanted to take this news back to Zhaoguo.
Let Your Majesty thoroughly investigate the traitors who betrayed Zhaoguo.
Fu Zhi said, "You arrange for someone to cover me. I will leave as soon as possible while they are still not paying attention to the Honglu Hall. I will definitely tell His Majesty about your help to my Zhao State. When Zhao State conquers Daliang in the future, your Jin State will definitely benefit from it."
"They are investigating thoroughly now. I will help you if they find out that you are from Jin State." The prince of Jin State hesitated and said, "You are very good at disguising yourself. They won't find out that you are Fu Zhi. Why don't you wait until we return to the country and leave together?"
Fu Zhi: “No need.”
The person who betrayed her would definitely tell her about the alliance between Zhao and Jin. If she continued to sit there and wait for death, she would only be caught by Daliang.
Previously, he stayed in the Jin State delegation and came to the Honglu Pavilion to avoid search. Now it is not easy to get out.
Before Fu Zhi could find a way to leave, the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded by military supervisors, and not even a fly could fly out.
This was a good opportunity for the military supervisors to redeem themselves from their crimes and make meritorious contributions. No one dared to neglect his duty and wanted to receive the fifty military sticks.
Fu Zhi was shocked when she learned that the Honglu Pavilion was surrounded. Sure enough, the person who betrayed her also sold the news of Jin State to Daliang. Now it was not easy for her to leave.
Fu Zhi thought of the maid she replaced. After speaking to Prince Jin, she disguised herself as a eunuch beside Prince Jin and changed into the eunuch's clothes.
And that female servant was Fu Zhi.
When the maid was captured, Fu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. This maid was bought from the Daliang agent after Jin Guo came to Daliang. The prince of Jin Guo used her as a maid to cover up for her.
Now, the people from Daliang have captured the people from Daliang, and that person has become her scapegoat. Once this matter is settled, she will be able to escape and return to Zhao State.
When the maid was caught, she said, "Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
The military supervisor who took her away said nothing but took her to the Ministry of Justice. When Yang Wenjing learned that the woman named Fu Zhi was arrested, he looked at the weak girl in front of him and could not imagine that this was someone who would assassinate His Majesty in the palace.
Don't judge a person by appearance. The seemingly weak ones are just disguises of these killers. Yang Wenjing asked, "Are you Fu Zhi?"
The maid cried, "Sir, I am not a talisman. I am innocent. Sir, I wonder what crime I have committed?"
"He is facing death but still refuses to repent," said the Chief Censor.
Wang Rendao: "From your accent, you are from Hangzhou?"
"Yes, sir," the maid said, "I came from Hangzhou, but I was cheated of all my money on the way here, and finally I was cheated by the people in the pimp's office. I was about to be scolded and sent to a brothel when someone rescued me."
Wang Ren said, "Go ask the military supervisor guarding the gate to come and identify the man."
After a while, the military supervisor came over and Wang Ren asked, "Do you remember this face?"
The military supervisor said, "Remember, this man entered the palace with the envoys."
After hearing this, the maid immediately said, "Sir, I have never been to the palace. I have always stayed in the room and have never been anywhere else."
Hearing her crying, Yang Wenjing frowned and asked, "You said you stayed in the room the whole time?"
The maid nodded repeatedly.
"The young master who bought me never summoned me. He just asked me to stay in my room. I really never entered the palace."
"This is a strange thing. Why don't we ask Taoist Li to come and calculate it?"
The Chief Censor raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Ren, and was somewhat curious about the Taoist Master Li he mentioned.
I heard that after this Taoist priest Li came to the Ministry of Justice, he helped the ministry solve many cases. Even the name Fu Zhi was calculated by that Taoist priest.
Fu Zhi was not found inside or outside the palace, and the Ministry of Justice suddenly said that Fu Zhi was hiding in the Honglu Pavilion.
The person who could make the Ministry of Justice say this must be that Taoist Priest Li.
Could that person really have calculated to such an extent? Or was this the Ministry of Justice trying to build momentum for him, hoping to use this opportunity to get the Taoist priest into the worship hall, so that in the future, they could use the Taoist priest's reputation to detain people even if there was insufficient evidence.
If this is true, the Ministry of Justice is really planning a big game, hoping to use this Taoist priest to suppress the two departments. I don't know if this is Yang Wenjing's plan.
If it really comes to that, there will be no need for the Dali Temple and the Censorate, as his Ministry of Justice will have absolute power.
After thinking this, the Chief Censor became wary of Li Le.
It would be fine if the Taoist Li had real ability, but if not, he would risk his life to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Justice.
But the Chief Censor didn't understand that what he could see, the young marquis might also be able to see.
Since the young marquis wanted to ask the Taoist priest to come and do a fortune-telling, did he want to see his abilities or did he really believe that the Taoist priest had real abilities? Or maybe the Taoist priest was not who he thought he was?
The Chief Censor said, "Even Lord Wang believes in Taoist Li's ability. I am a little curious."
Wang Ren looked at the old face of the Chief Censor, curled his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Li has already calculated the talisman, why not let Master Li continue to calculate, so that this case can be resolved."
He looked as if he wanted to wrap up the case in a hurry.
Yang Wenjing frowned and said, "Young Marquis is dissatisfied."
Wang Ren immediately said seriously: "Old Yang, please don't harm me. How could I not believe in Taoist Li's ability? Taoist Li is here with me, but this."
He raised his thumb to let others know what he thought, but with his nonchalant look, it seemed like he was mocking others.
The Chief Censor could not tell whether the young marquis was praising the Taoist priest Li or satirizing the Ministry of Justice for listening to the decision of a Taoist priest even in such a case.
After Li Lezhi arrived, he looked at the three people with serious faces, two of whom he was familiar with. He nodded to them and stood quietly aside.
Only then did Wang Ren remember that he was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. If someone exposed him as the Minister of the Dali Temple, what if Taoist Li didn't like someone deceiving him?
Then he would be in danger.
The Chief Censor looked at Li Lezhi, the Taoist priest working in the Ministry of Justice. He was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe. He was a handsome man with an elegant appearance. If he took part in the imperial examination, he would definitely be the third place in the imperial examination that year.
The most rare thing is this man's temperament, which is ethereal and as if he is a banished immortal reborn. With his appearance and demeanor, even if he does not have much skill, just based on his appearance, people would think he is a master who has practiced Taoism for many years.
It’s just that he is very young, so people can’t be convinced that he has real ability. Instead, people would think he is a charlatan who is deliberately disguising himself.
Even he had some doubts about whether this Taoist Li had real abilities or was just pretending.
It is rare among Taoists and also rare among ordinary people. When the real is also fake, the fake is also real, who can tell the real from the fake?
The Imperial Censor said, "Master Li, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to calculate whether this girl in front of you is a talisman."
He was very curious about how this Taoist Priest Li calculated. However, when Li Le only took out the tortoise shell for calculation, the Chief Censor's eyes were confused. This Taoist Priest Li, who seemed to have extraordinary Taoist skills, actually also needed to use tortoise shells?
Could it be that people as powerful as them couldn't just calculate it, or just take a glance and know the result?
Or maybe he was wrong. The Taoist Priest Li in front of him was just extraordinary in bearing, and his ability was just that of an ordinary Taoist priest.
Yes, if he was really a powerful Taoist priest, he would not be working in the Ministry of Justice. He should have entered Xuanyang Palace to practice Taoism and go to the Worship Hall.
After the Chief Censor figured it out, he became much less interested in Li Lezhi and just sat there, waiting for the result.
When Wang Ren and Yang Wenjing saw Taoist Li take out the tortoise shell, they both looked puzzled. Taoist Li has always been simple and could get the answer directly through calculation, so why did he use the tortoise shell today?
Wang Ren thought more about it. Was it because he almost exposed the Taoist priest's identity before, and the Taoist priest used the tortoise shell disguise to cover it up?
No matter how they guessed, Li Le just took out the tortoise shell and threw it twice. This time he did not use fortune-telling, but tried to see what result he could get with the tortoise shell. Then, he calculated nothing and got no result.
Even though he knew this, Li Lezhi was still a little discouraged. After studying for so long, he still couldn't master it, so he had to use calculations again.
Li Le just said: "It's not her."
When the girl's name was calculated, two results appeared. Li Le could only guess that the girl must have changed her name, which happened to be Fuzhi, and was arrested by the military supervisor as a murderer.
"Where was the person caught?" Li Le just asked.
Wang Ren said, "We caught him in the Honglu Hall." He waved his hand, and the clerk came up to him. Wang Ren said, "Go and ask the military supervisor who caught him to come in."
The military supervisor walked in.
Wang Ren asked, "Are there any other female servants in the Hongluguan?"
The military supervisor said, "No."
"Really?" Wang Ren stopped smiling and asked seriously.
The military supervisor nodded.
After the military supervisor nodded, Wang Ren immediately stood up and asked, "Has anyone left the Hongluguan?"
Supervisor: “No.”
That was really strange. The people from the Honglu Pavilion had not left, but Taoist Li calculated that the murderer was in the Honglu Pavilion, and there was only a girl named Fu Zhi in the Honglu Pavilion.
Where did the murderer go?
The Imperial Censor said, "Could it be that the Taoist priest made a mistake in his calculations? The person is not in the Honglu Pavilion, and his name is not even Fuzhi. Or maybe this girl is the murderer."
The maid then realized that she was considered the murderer and immediately shook her head and said, "It's not me, it's really not me. I have never entered the palace, and I have never killed anyone."
