Chapter 41 Detective Di is online
"Your Highness! Are you still worried about the art of hatred?" Di Renjie came out of Chongxian Pavilion and happened to meet Li Chengqian with a sad face.
"It's Mr. Di!" Li Chengqian turned around and saw Di Renjie standing behind him.
"As long as the case of hatred is not closed, it will still have a lot of impact on my East Palace. Although Liu Li has calmed down a little because of the last newspaper headline, this is not a long-term solution." Li Chengqian said.
No one knows how they will proceed with the next move.
Li Tai has been able to endure loneliness these days. Apart from studying with peace of mind, he has done nothing.
This makes Li Chengqian a little difficult to judge.
"I heard that many students who knelt in front of the palace gates fainted because of the case of Yan Sheng. If this continues, I'm afraid more people will fall." Di Renjie said.
"Yes! Fortunately, the emperor's imperial guards are watching, and there are doctors to take care of them. At most, they will faint, and there is no need to worry about their lives!" Li Chengqian said.
"Is there still no progress in this case?" Di Renjie said.
"Even though the emperor has urged us many times, Sikong and others are still making slow progress. It's not easy to solve the case." Li Chengqian said.
"I wonder if you can let me take a look at the case files?" Di Renjie asked.
Li Chengqian was stunned!
Although Di Renjie will surely become a famous prime minister in the future, and his ability is beyond doubt, he is still a teenager now. Can he handle such a big case?
"No?" Seeing that Li Chengqian didn't say a word, Di Renjie thought that the prince couldn't borrow the files.
"Oh! This is not a difficult thing. I can tell His Majesty that it is not difficult to borrow it for a look." Li Chengqian said.
"Is Di Qing also familiar with litigation and case handling?"
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Highness, but I have helped my father handle some cases before, but I have never tried a case on my own, so I want to give it a try." Di Renjie said.
So that's it! Li Chengqian thought to himself: Let Di Renjie have a try, maybe there will be some unexpected results. Even if he fails in the end, it can cultivate his ability to solve cases, which is also good.
"In this case! I will report to my father and let Di Qing look at the files. Please wait for the call." Li Chengqian said.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Di Renjie saluted.
Li Chengqian ordered people to prepare a sedan chair to carry him to see Li Er and ask Li Er to look at the files.
Di Renjie was led into the Qianqiu Hall on the west side of the Liangyi Hall. Li Er and others were already waiting for Di Renjie here. When
Di Renjie entered, what caught his eyes was the Great Tang Emperor Li Er sitting on the throne, and the crown prince Li Chengqian was sitting in the first seat on the left.
There were also three people in Qianqiu Hall: Minister of the Interior Sun Wuji, Minister of the Central Secretariat Yang Shidao, and Minister of the Supreme Court Sun Fujia.
Li Er was a little unhappy when he saw that the person who came in was a young boy. He felt that the prince was just making a fuss. Such an important case was actually mixed up by a young boy. If
he had known this would happen, he should not have agreed to the prince's request. But the king never joked, and he couldn't go back on his word in front of everyone.
Li Chengqian applied for this opportunity for Di Renjie under tremendous pressure.
Yang Shidao was a cautious person. Although he was surprised that the person who came in was a young boy, he didn't say much.
Sun Fujia lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
Changsun Wuji, however, did not care about this and did not speak. After taking a look at Di Renjie, he turned his gaze to Emperor Li Er who was sitting on the throne, asking him what was going on with his eyes.
Emperor Li Er pretended not to see Changsun Wuji's look and continued to look straight at him.
"I am Di Renjie, a scholar of Chongxian Hall, and I pay my respects to your majesty!
I pay my respects to the prince!" Di Renjie saluted. "No need to be polite, but stand up!" Li Er said.
"Thank you, your majesty!" Di Renjie stood up!
"You want to check the files of the case of Zhuang Sheng?" Emperor Li Er said.
"That's exactly me. As a subject of the Great Tang, I should do my best for your majesty and the prince!" Di Renjie said neither servile nor arrogant.
"What do you know about trying a case as a child?" Changsun Wuji questioned.
"Since I was young, I have been learning how to judge cases from my father. My father often teaches me how to judge cases. Although I dare not say that I can judge a case, I may be able to help you." Di Renjie said.
"You are such a boastful kid! You dare to speak nonsense in this hall without considering your own ability." Sun Fujia said. "It is a bit too much for the Dali Temple
to say so. In ancient times, Xiang Tuo became Confucius' teacher at the age of seven, and Gan Luo was appointed prime minister at the age of twelve. It is not surprising that Di Qing can judge a case at the age of thirteen." Li Chengqian stood up and spoke for Di Renjie.
Although he was also nervous, Di Renjie was his man in the East Palace after all, so he naturally had to support Di Renjie.
Moreover, trust people when you employ them, and don't employ people if you don't trust them! If he doubted Di Renjie's ability, how could he have bitten the bullet and withstood the huge pressure to seek the consent of His Majesty Li II.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty! This is indeed my recklessness, but as the Minister of the Dali Temple, this is also my duty. I need to examine this young talent." Sun Fujia said.
Sun Fujia's words made sense. If Di Renjie was not tested, no one in the hall would be convinced. Li Chengqian couldn't help but look at Di Renjie.
"Please give me some advice, Minister of the Dali Temple!" Di Renjie smiled slightly.
"A man came to the government office to file a complaint. When he got up in the morning to feed the cow, he found that his cow had lost its tongue... If you were the county magistrate, how would you handle this case?" Sun Fujia told Di Renjie in detail about the case of cutting off the cow's tongue.
"This is easy to handle! Let this man go back and kill the cow, and then distribute it to the people in the village. Then, the person who cut off the cow's tongue will sue the person who killed the cow. According to the Zhenguan Law: Anyone who privately kills a working cow..." Di Renjie talked nonstop and soon made a clear judgment on the case.
Everyone nodded in praise, thinking that although Di Renjie was still young, he was quite capable.
Sun Fujia thought about it and gave Di Renjie a few more cases, each one more difficult than the last, including the unsolved case.
These were no problem for Di Renjie, he answered them one by one, and he memorized the laws by heart, just like a master of solving cases.
"It's true that heroes emerge from youth! I admire you!" Sun Fujia praised, he was convinced.
Not only him, but also His Majesty Li Er and Changsun Wuji and others had no doubts.
Li Chengqian was even more excited. Maybe Di Renjie could really solve the case of the hated winner.
"I didn't expect you to have such talent at such a young age. It's really a blessing for our Tang Dynasty. I wonder who your father is?" Emperor Li II said.
"Your Majesty! My father is Di Zhixun, the governor of Kuizhou." Di Renjie said.
"Oh! So you are the son of Di Gong. No wonder you are so talented at such a young age. It's true that a tiger father will have a dog son!" Sun Fujia said.
