Chapter 296

As expected, the emperor was also in Yuheng Palace.

The emperor was also curious.

After listening to Xiao Han talk about several polished cases, the emperor was still in a state of prosperity.

"The folk rumors that Xiao Aiqing is born with a wise eye are true. I think it is true. There are probably few people in this world who can discover the truth from the details like Xiao Aiqing."

The emperor smiled generously and said, "It is my blessing to be punished by the guilty and to prevent innocent people from being wronged."

The emperor wanted to listen more, but he heard the eunuch report, "Shoufu Zhou and Lord Han are already waiting in Xuanzheng Hall."

Being an emperor, especially an emperor who is not a fool, cannot do his best.

But the emperor was also quite understanding, "The beloved concubine hasn't seen Xiao Qing for a long time. Why not let Xiao Qing stay with you for more time?"

Xiao Han is now an outside official, so it is forbidden to enter the harem in principle, let alone staying in Yuheng Palace for an extra hour.

After the emperor left, Concubine Xiao took Xiao Han down and talked about another thing. Two days ago, about the case that caused a lot of controversy in Beijing, the rumors were behind the rumor of Zhenwu Hou Mansion. However, before Concubine Xiao took action, Xiao Han overturned the case.

Xiao Han went there to patronize the case, but he didn't pay attention to these things.

"Be careful when you are outside, and you will be investigated and don't take risks." Concubine Xiao reminded.

Xiao Han nodded, "I understand."

She also remembered the matter of Zhenwuhou in her heart.

Xiao Ruoqiao's cautious and calm attitude made her feel relieved. She may often leave Beijing when she investigates the case in the future. She doesn't want Xiao Ruoqiao to be cruel and impulsive to drag her enemies into the water to kill herself.

Then her mission failed.

———

"Mr. Xiao, are we going back to Dali Temple?" asked Commander Zheng beside Xiao Han.

This place is not far from Bin County, Xiao Han remembered that he had decided to go and see it before. So Xiao Han arranged to leave a few tiqi, and the others escorted the prisoner back to Beijing.

Seeing that there were too few people left to protect Xiao Sizheng, Commander Zheng was a little worried.

He was specially ordered by Dong Shaoqing to protect Xiao Jiashu.

As Xiao Han solved many old cases, and even some were unjust and false cases from the local area. As a result, as soon as he arrived in a certain prefecture and county, he was recognized by the local government and respectfully held a banquet to accompany him.

Sometimes being too famous is a burden. If a prisoner hears the sound in advance, he will inevitably be alarmed.

Dong Shaoqing was even more worried about Xiao Jiashu's safety. He once told Xiao Jiashu that investigating a case may not only cause danger, but also the prisoner may take risks and kill him.

Especially when Xiao Jiashu is so famous now, anyone will think he can find out the truth.

Such a vicious criminal would not care about the identity of the imperial court's official.

Moreover, because the power of Dali Temple is in charge of the world's criminal prisons, sometimes even the local governments have to be on guard. When Dong Shaoqing said this to Xiao Han, he looked very moved. Xiao Han thought that he had investigated the case for many years and had a rich experience.

Xiao Han waved his hand, "It's okay, I'll only stay for two or three days, just take a walk."

It’s not that Xiao Han is self-conceited. In terms of martial arts, there are probably no one in this world who can kill her life.

Although Commander Zheng was dispatched by Dong Shaoqing, he still obeyed Xiao Han's orders outside and had to take the prisoner to leave first.

Xiao Han did not tell the people who were staying around that he went to Bin County to investigate the case and resolve doubts. He only said that he would take a walk casually, and asked them to change into the official uniform of the Tiqi in Dali Temple, and even changed into clothes, just like an ordinary rich young man on a trip.

Maybe it was because she believed in Xiao Han's words, or maybe she did nothing during her two days in Binxian County, so she wandered around, sometimes chatting with locals, and doing nothing else.

In the two dull days that others thought were, Xiao Han discovered a shocking event.

The prisoner was not talking nonsense.

It is probably true that officers and soldiers kill the people.

Xiao Han closed his eyes, passed the clues he had found these days in his mind, and then said as if nothing had happened, "Let's go back to Dali Temple."

Return to Dali Temple to retrieve the case.

———

Wu Yuan once made military achievements and later served as the governor of Luzhou. Binxian was under his rule. In the tenth year of Qingyou, the bandits in Binxian were in chaos. Wu Zhizhou led troops to kill hundreds of bandits. His achievements were significant and he reached the Heavenly Ting.

However, Xiao Han had investigated the hiding places of the bandits and had records of buying money and food, at most fifty people.

Of course, the contributions of killing fifty and hundreds of bandits were different.

What is used as a submission is the innocent people who colluded with the bandits and disguised by the bandits in the merits.

In order to seek credit, Wu Yuan even slaughtered the people.

Dong Shaoqing's behavior has always been as fast as lightning. As soon as Xiao Han presented conclusive evidence, he went directly to the palace to ask for orders, mobilize people, block the entire city, and surrounded Wu Yuan's mansion.

Xiao Han and Dong Shaoqing broke into his study, and he seemed to be burning something.

Dong Shaoqing glared and punched Wu Yuan's hands, pressing them hard on the ground.

Although Wu Yuan was once a military camp, he could hear the sound of bones breaking after several years of pampering.

After handing the person over to his subordinates, Dong Shaoqing went to see what Wu Yuan burned. He asked His Majesty for less than an hour, and Wu Yuan couldn't escape far. Then what he was still preparing to burn at this time must be an important thing.

But when he saw that the white and precious porcelain teacup had already burned black paper ashes, Dong Shaoqing couldn't help but think it was a pity. He came one step late, and his face was a little dark, and he said in a deep voice, "When he goes to the Dali Temple prison, I insist on letting him spit out what was burning."

But when Xiao Han told someone to get some small items, Dong Shaoqing was very puzzled, "Jiashu, what are you doing?"

"Don't you want to see what he burned?" Xiao Han's eyes were quiet, and he moved lightly and carefully in the teacup to pick out the black paper that had not been completely burned to ashes.

When Dong Shaoqing heard this, he looked surprised, "You mean you can know the burned handwriting."

Xiao Han pursed his lips, "It depends on our luck."

The subordinate brought the small object that Xiao Han pointed out to ask for. Dong Shaoqing looked strange, like copper and iron, but it looked like a small net, and there were still two. Xiao Han was very satisfied with the efficiency of the Dali Temple officials' actions and was able to find what she wanted in such a short time.

A scene that surprised Dong Shaoqing even more happened. The burned carbon black shredded paper was placed in two small nets, but Xiao Jiashu ignited it again.

A moment before lighting the candle with a fire broker, Xiao Han also reminded, "Don't blink your eyes, otherwise don't blame me if you miss it."

Dong Shaoqing had forgotten his words, and some words appeared on the paper - words formed by fire, even if it was just a moment. Dong Shaoqing finally understood why Xiao Jiashu reminded him not to blink, because it was really too fast.

He didn't blink, but he doubted whether he was dreaming.

"This...what is going on?" Not only Dong Shaoqing was in a daze, but the others who saw that scene in the room were also shocked.

This actually uses the principle of continuing to burn substances with different ignition points. If the sheets of paper burned into carbon but not completely burned are placed on the flame to continue burning, the sheets of paper will turn from black to red, and the black marks on it will be displayed, but they can only last for a moment. After that, the sheets of paper that are not completely burned will be burned into ashes and completely turned into powder.

But this era is not suitable for promoting scientific principles, Xiao Han also simply said vaguely, "Some tricks that adults can do as artists in the martial arts world."

Of course, Dong Shaoqing knew about the tricks of artists in the martial arts world. He was able to break big stones on his chest and soak the oil pan, but the stones and oil were fake. But the handwriting on it was real, and they were burned to ashes and could still be reproduced.

What is the difference between this and the resurrection of the dead?

The black paper that had been kept intact before was broken into powder at this time, but no one paid attention to it. Compared with the miracles that could make the words burned into ashes reappear in the world, what is it like to break into powder?

Being stared at by everyone's eyes, Xiao Han's mouth twitched slightly, and he had to say, "Everyone can do it."

That's what everyone said, but everyone else would be skeptical.

Fortunately, Dong Shaoqing finally returned to his calmness and normality. Although the handwriting only appeared for a very short moment, it was not difficult to record all of his memory.

Just a few words are also extremely important evidence, not to mention that even the name is revealed.

Tang Tong.

Xiao Han was thinking about this name in his heart.

———

In order to continue to investigate what happened in Wu Yuan’s study that day, Dong Shaoqing ordered that no one should disclose it to the public. The few people present at that time were also subordinates trusted by Dong Shaoqing and Xiao Han.

After Wu Yuan was taken to Dali Temple prison, Dong Shaoqing tried overnight. During the trial, Wu Yuan gritted his teeth and said many things, so Dong Shaoqing was also inseparable from serving him.

Screams in prison were endless.

Although he was also a third-rank official before coming in, Dong Shaoqing had no scruples at all, and others were used to it.

There are countless officials and powerful officials who have been examined in Dali Temple over the years. If they are in power, they are afraid of the weak and weak, and the emperor will not dare to use it with confidence.

Dong Yun prefers to punish severely, especially when there is evidence, he is even more willing to torture and force confessions, so he offended many officials in the court on weekdays. However, because he has never caught his mistakes, His Majesty and Lord Bai trust him more, so he has been as stable as Mount Tai in the position of Shaoqing.

Dong Shaoqing said in a deep voice, "Kill good and make achievements, but even if Binxian is far from the capital, it is not so easy. Someone must be protecting Wu Yuan."

Thinking of this case, Dong Shaoqing's eyes dimmed, "If someone had discovered something was wrong in the case of eliminating the enemy, perhaps some innocent people would not have lost their lives in vain."

Wu Yuan made a fuss with the corpses of some young and strong people, but in order to clean them up, many women, children and children were affected.

Dong Shaoqing patted Xiao Han on the shoulder. If Xiao Jiashu had not searched the file because of a word and went to the old place to check it personally, the hundreds of people would have been inexplicably unjust.

Xiao Han asked for orders to continue to investigate, and he also received full support from Dong Shaoqing. He is now 100% convinced by Xiao Han's ability to investigate the case.

It is easy to arrest Wu Yuan and convict him, but sometimes he often cuts the clues and cannot find the people behind him.

"I will go and tell you that our Dali Temple will investigate this case to the end." Dong Shaoqing said firmly.
