Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 384
Speaking of this, Di Ying sighed a long time, paused, and then said: "Poor that general's family, there are more than sixty people including servants, and they were not even taken to the execution ground. He was beheaded in the middle of the attack. Blood flowed like rivers, it was extremely miserable!"

Di Qing was taken aback. She covered her mouth and said as if she couldn't believe it: "You don't even let children go?"

Di Ying nodded with regret, and continued: "After the general's family was ransacked, no one dared to go to collect the corpses. Dozens of corpses were placed in the courtyard, and no one dared to approach him until it started to stink. Later, it was Grandpa who came forward and ordered the corpse to be buried in the courtyard at the risk of being accused of dishonesty."

"I see." Li Canghai rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and asked, "Second Brother, I don't know the general's name?"

Di Ying suddenly became hesitant. He looked around cautiously, and said in a low voice: "Since his family was confiscated and his family exterminated, the name of the general has become a taboo in Luoyang City. People are afraid of mentioning his name and being implicated." Going in, as time goes by, it will gradually be forgotten by people. The general's name is Qin, and the single name has a double word."

"Qin Fu?" Li Canghai repeated a few times, looking for relevant information in his mind, but 14 years ago, he was still young, so he had never heard of this name, let alone searched for relevant clues.

"Canghai, why did you mention this all of a sudden?" Di Ying didn't understand why Li Canghai wanted to bring up an old incident more than ten years ago.

Li Canghai frowned, and did not answer Di Ying's question, but asked curiously: "How can you be convicted without trial for such things as collaborating with the enemy and treason?"

Li Canghai couldn't figure it out, Li Longji was a well-known virtuous monarch more than ten years ago, and he created the "Kaiyuan Prosperous Age", so how could he confiscate his family and exterminate his family at every turn?

"This... I don't know much about it. This was considered a sensational event at the time. I remember that the case was handed over to the Sanfa Division and the Luoyang Mansion for a joint trial. After it was confirmed that he was convicted of treason, the Holy Majesty decreed that He ransacked his family and exterminated his family." Di Ying thought carefully and said.

Li Canghai touched his nose, lost in thought.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Doctor Yushi, and the Minister of Dali Temple are the so-called "three-division joint trial".

Ordinary cases are accepted and resolved by the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Dali Temple respectively, and those cases that can be used in such a big way are very important and relatively complicated cases.

Such cases often have extensive implications and great impact, and the perpetrators are of high authority.Therefore, it is necessary to go through the "three-division joint trial" to show justice. After the third division has reached a conclusion, it will be reported to the emperor, and then the emperor will make a judgment.

It is not difficult to see from Di Ying's description that Qin Fu fits all these characteristics.

One is high position and weight, and the other is collaborating with the enemy and treason.

All dynasties have hated collaborating with the enemy and treason, not to mention the upright and prosperous Tang Dynasty more than ten years ago, when Tubo invaded Youzhou in such a prosperous age, it was a resounding slap to Li Longji, no wonder he was so angry that he wanted to kill Qin The copyist family wiped out the whole family.

"Cang Hai, why are you suddenly interested in this case?" Di Qing blinked and asked suspiciously.

Li Canghai smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Because I found some interesting things." After a pause, he asked Di Qing: "Qing'er, you have worked in Luoyang Mansion before, but you know the details of all the cases. Where are the files kept?"

Di Qing nodded and said: "Of course I know." She blinked her eyes and suddenly realized: "Are you going to read the files about Qin Fu's treason case?"

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, and said deeply: "I have an intuition that maybe Linzhu's real identity can be found out from this case."

Di Qing was very excited, she seemed impatient, and said eagerly: "It's not too late, let's go check the file now!"

Li Canghai looked at Di Qing, smiled and said, "Qing'er, it's not easy to look through files, are you sure you want to go?"

Di Qing rolled his eyes at him, and snorted, "If you can do it, I can do it too. Isn't it just a matter of looking up files? Isn't it a piece of cake for this heroine?"

Li Canghai smiled and said, "In that case, let's set off now."

After the two said goodbye to Di Ying, Di Qing hurriedly pulled him and walked outside in a bouncing manner.

In Luoyang Mansion, after Li Canghai revealed his identity, the newly appointed Governor hurriedly saluted the two, and then respectfully led them to the attic where the files were kept.

Li Canghai found out that it was much more convenient after he became the Minister of Dali Temple. In the past, even if he was a ninth-rank county magistrate, even if he had worn out his lips, he might not be able to let him read the files.But now that he is the Minister of Dali Temple, he can do it just by moving his mouth, which immediately made him feel deeply moved, no wonder the world likes power so much.

"My lord, this is the place where the case files are stored, and there are all the files since the founding of the Tang Dynasty." The Governor of Luoyang saluted Li Canghai respectfully, then thought for a while and said, "It's just that there are many files here. , I’m afraid it’s quite difficult to find it, should I ask the lower officials to find more people to help the adults find it together?”

"No need, the two of us are enough, I'm here to thank Mr. Governor." Li Canghai nodded slightly to the Governor of Luoyang.

The Governor of Luoyang hurriedly bowed and said again and again: "Don't dare, dare not. If that's the case, then I won't bother you sir."

After the governor of Luoyang saluted the two of them, he left the attic.

"Qing'er, let's go in!" Li Canghai looked at the attic, then pushed open the wooden door, and walked in with Di Qing.

This is the first time for Li Canghai to come to the attic where the files are stored. Although he had found relevant clues about Di Renjie from here when cracking the "Treasure of the Emperor Wu", it was also taken out by Liang Xiu. People have no right to enter here.

When he came here at this time, he discovered that there were more files stored here than he had imagined.

The five-storey attic, from top to bottom, is densely packed, almost like a sea of ​​smoke, and its scale is comparable to those of the libraries in the previous life.

"Canghai, where do I find so many files?" Di Qing also came here for the first time, looking at the rows of wooden frames, each frame was full of files, her face suddenly wrinkled. There was a ball.

Li Canghai walked to the middle of the attic, and found a table in the middle. On the table were pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and a stack of record books.

He flipped through the rice paper on the table, and actually pulled out a layout plan of the attic, which recorded the age files stored on each floor.

From top to bottom, they are the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the reign of Zhenguan, the reign of Shenlong, the reign of Kaiyuan, and the reign of Tianbao.

That is to say, the dossiers preserved on the top layer are from the end of Sui Dynasty to the end of Zhenguan, then from the end of Zhenguan to the end of Shenlong, and so on.
