Chapter 388 Xiang Huan Chunfang, So It Was Him?(1/2)
"Officials accept bribes, that's the result.
The bribery performed by Ashijie is the 'cause' and the source."
Zhao Han said:
"Although you said that there seems to be no such business in this city.
But since it can have such a large trade deal with Mingyue Tower, it must be in the city of Yangzhou.
It's just a cover-up to prevent outsiders from discovering it.
So, as long as we continue to search in the city, especially in the market where the Hu people live in detail, I think we will definitely find clues.
As long as you find this "Asijieshishishi", then those Turkic people will not be far away.
If these people are caught and the source of bribery is cut off, then this big corruption case in Yangzhou can be solved easily.
The clues at the moment show that the shipwreck case and the "Na Luojia" must also be related to these Turks.
If you catch them, the case will be solved.
This is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.”
Zhao Han's analysis was meticulous and clear, and there was also a very clear way to do things.
Li Xiyu couldn't help but admire:
"Master Zhao is indeed worthy of being both civil and military, extraordinary, and this plan is very good."
He seemed a little curious:
"Master Zhao, you can have such a clever case-handling method at a young age.
Where did you learn this knowledge and cultivation?
I don’t know who respects the teacher?”
My Master?
Zhao Han's heart suddenly rang out, a sentence someone had said to him:
Remember, when you go out in the future, don’t tell others that I have taught you...
He smiled and said:
"Mr. Li is too famous. I just read some books and solved some cases, which is not worth mentioning."
The two of them talked back to the booklets, the famous lists of officials who received bribes.
"In addition to the Axijie family journey," Zhao Han said, "There is another new clue here, and I'm about to ask Lord Li."
He pointed to the end of the famous watch, the three names with the largest amount of bribes and the strangest ones.
"Fuluan, hide the swan."
Li Xiyu thought about the first two names:
"This is the pseudonym of Deng Ai and Lu Yun during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is called "hermit".
This shows that the two people behind this genre must be hidden very deeply."
After thinking about it, he said that there is a way to find out the identities of these two people.
Because, it seems that these two people are probably the officials in Yangzhou.
The names of many officials have been listed on this bribery list.
Just compare these names with the list of current Yangzhou officials in the yamen and the list of officials with the names listed are eliminated.
The remaining officials may be the candidates for these two hidden characters.
Li Xiyu said that he would immediately let Liu Xiaoyan handle the matter.
Zhao Han nodded and looked at the name with the largest amount, similar to the place name:
“'Xianghuan Chunfang'.
Lord Li, you are very familiar with Yangzhou. Do you know where this place is?"
Li Xiyu stared at the four words:
"The city of Yangzhou is divided into Zicheng, Luocheng, and two major cities.
The city of Zicheng is in the north, which is a small city; the city of Luo is in the south, which is a big city.
There are two cities in the city, big and small, and 62 yards in the north and south, with twenty-four bridges and 62 yards in total. Li has long been familiar with the names of all the markets.
There is no such "Xianghuan Chunfang".
Many of the counties under Yangzhou do not have them, and the market is divided so finely.
Even if there is one, the names are two or three characters, and there will be no names with these four characters.
Xianghuanchunfang, Xianghuanchunfang..."
Li Xiyu stroked his long beard with his hand and recited these four words repeatedly.
"Since that's the case," Zhao Han said, "then this is not a place name, but a certain word related to a certain person?"
“Related to someone…”
A glimmer suddenly flashed in Li Xiyu's eyes:
"Is this actually the case?"
He brushed his long sleeves and walked to the left side of the hall.
There, a Tang Dynasty geometric map is hung high on the wall, and there are all kinds of mountains, rivers and cities on it.
Li Xiyu pointed to a land in the upper right corner on the map and said:
"Xingzhou, formerly known as 'Wei County', is located at the southernmost part of Hebei Road and is located in Ye County.
Huanshui is a county under Xiangzhou, close to the west of Ye County and connected to Weizhou."
Zhao Han immediately understood:
"So, Lord Li, you are talking about it. This is a person who is called Xianghuanchunfang.
And this person is closely related to Huanshui County, Xiangzhou."
"good."
Li Xiyu said:
"Li was in Chang'an before and worked in the Ministry of Personnel. He also had a lot of knowledge about the background and family background of the officials in the court.
Among the civil and military officials in the court, there were not many people born in the Huanshui River in Xiangzhou.
And the most famous one among them, Li is very familiar with it."
Zhao Han looked at Li Xiyu's appearance and thought about it and said:
"Is it, Lord Du?"
Li Xiyu nodded, and his expression became a little serious:
"Du Songyun, a native of the Huanshui River in Xiangzhou, became a scholar during the period of Renshou of the Sui Dynasty.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he devoted himself to the current emperor's responsibilities and was promoted all the way, and finally became the third-rank prince of the current dynasty, the army of the crown prince of the Eastern Palace of the Tang Dynasty.
Du Songyun is proficient in poetry, calligraphy, chess and paintings, literary and martial arts.
He has written many booklets such as "Hundred Frontiers" and "Zhangtai Ba Liu Fu", which have been widely circulated among the officials of the Tang Dynasty."
"Then the word "Chunfang", "Zhao Han said, "What does it mean?"
"Du Songyun has a collection of poems that have not been circulated to the outside world, but he himself admires them the most and claims that they are the most satisfied with in his life.
Li had the honor of reading this collection of poems.
The name of this collection of poems is "Chunfanglu".
A native of Huanshui County, Xiangzhou, he once wrote a collection of poems called "Chunfanglu"
It turns out that this "Xianghuan Chunfang" means this.
What it refers to is indeed a person.
And this person is the current crown prince Zhan Shi, who is currently the ambassador of Yangzhou for promotion and demotion. At present, Li Xiyu's biggest opponent, Du Songyun.
A third-rank official of the Tang Dynasty, the prince's army, actually accepted a huge bribe from a mysterious Turkic business.
This Turkic business also bribed most of the Yangzhou officialdom, and it is likely that it was the mastermind behind the "female ghost Chenjiang case".
This case not only disrupted the livelihood of Yangzhou, but also destroyed the transportation of the north and south, affecting the trade and people's hearts of the entire Tang Dynasty.
What an amazing news revealed here.
"Can it be," said Li Xiyu, "Du Songyun is so bold and reckless that he secretly colluded with the Turkic enemy country to do this to disrupt the country's destiny and rebellious deeds?"
Zhao Han is still very calm:
"Mr. Li, let's think about it.
To be continued...
