Chapter 477 The truth emerges

The next morning, Xu Yuan's subordinate came directly to this small mansion and knocked on the door.

Zhao Pu had already finished washing and was ready to go. He sat upright in the small courtyard with not drying ink in his sleeves. His child, who had just turned one year old, was still sleeping soundly. The dust in the room had been cleaned up by his wife. Although he was a coroner, he could not tolerate any carelessness in his little days.

"Xu Xiang takes Zhao Pu to Xu Xiang's mansion."

After Xu Yuan's subordinates gave up this sentence, they led the way. As for why they chose to choose the place where they met him in Xu Yuan's own mansion, Zhao Pu had no idea.

But since he has arrived in Chang'an City, Xu Yuan has arranged a separate residence for himself. He will not take his own life. After all, he is just a small person who cannot be even smaller and is not qualified.

Thinking of this level, Zhao Pu's mind became calmer and closer.

Of course, Xu Yuan should not have summoned a coroner in his mansion, but he was in a hurry to take power. Li Qing attached great importance to the mastermind behind this matter, but now, except for this small coroner, there is no evidence in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. In this case, his safety is particularly important.

Especially since the other party can assassinate so many salt officials and pretend to be disguised within such a large range, at least in the assassination, they must be professional.

You should know that the salt officials were quite special in the Tang Dynasty. They offended many people and were rich, so every salt officials' mansion had protective measures, because they were afraid of death as much as they killed. In this case, they did not fail at once. The strength of the killer should not be underestimated.

As the prime minister, Xu Yuan lived in his residence when he was the Minister of Rites in Chang'an City. Li Yan had already left him a good house, but Xu Yuan did not go because he was not like other officials who took his family with him.

As one of the few Qingliu in the court, Xu Yuan only had two wives and three children. His mansion is already big enough for their family, but it is a little smaller than other officials.

Li Qing does not force this kind of thing. As long as you are focused on the Tang Dynasty, he rarely cares about other aspects when doing things.

When Zhao Pu arrived at the hall, Xu Yuan, who was thin and handsome, was already waiting in his seat while drinking tea.

He only left Zhao Pu in the house, and then asked, "What is the situation of the ten corpses? Tell me truthfully, what do I say about this? When I reach Your Majesty, I will say this together."

When Zhao Pu heard this, he handed the prepared note directly to Xu Yuan.

"Xu Xiang, this is the situation with those ten corpses."

Xu Yuan took the note from Zhao Pu, and the ten pages of paper were densely recorded on the ten corpses.

It took Xu Yuan more than half an hour to read these notes. After that, he pondered for a while and said to Zhao Pu: "Follow me to enter the Tai Chi Palace!"

This is the result of Li Qing waiting for a month. Now that it has finally arrived, Xu Yuan naturally has to report it as soon as possible.

When he heard that it was this, Li Qing also arrived at the side hall of Tai Chi Palace early to wait. After Xu Yuan took Zhao Pu to arrive, he handed Zhao Pu's letter to Li Qing without saying a word.

Li Wen actually agrees with Zhao Pu's approach of recording such rigorous things on paper instead of talking with his mouth after he arrives.

As people like them who speak to corpses, in this era, there is no camera that can record the situation at that time. It is impossible to remember everything by relying on their own brains.

After watching Xu Yuan for more than half an hour, Li Yan was not much better than him, but after reading these notes, Li Yan's expression did not look as solemn as Xu Yuan, but relaxed a lot.

"Zhao Pu, do you think these ten corpses, plus the two before, were all done by one person?"

"Your Majesty, I think that even if it is not done by one person, the person who does this should have been trained by the same school. Otherwise, the method of killing and force characteristics would not be so consistent. But there is one thing that I can't understand..."

"What's the matter, but it's okay."

"From the situation of these twelve corpses, if it weren't for the same person's actions, the people who killed them would have been very short. The warriors in our Tang Dynasty are generally strong people, so this matter is still a bit strange."

Zhao Pu's ability to pass the autopsy and explain the matter to this point, which made Li Peng very satisfied. In fact, through his letters, Li Peng had already seen that he was definitely a rigorous person and his observation of the corpse was very meticulous.

This kind of work cannot deceive people. If it weren’t for such work year after year, it would be impossible to develop such a habit.

"I will naturally find out this point. If you hadn't found many doubts on those two corpses, I would have no idea how to start. Now these clues that can be determined on Henan Road have some clues. In this way, you will go to Dali Temple to work as a coroner tomorrow. The official position is not very high, and it is a ninth rank. But if you can continue to be meticulous about the corpses before, you will have great potential in the future!"

When Zhao Pu heard this, he immediately knelt down and kept thanking Li Qing for his constant gratitude. Tears immediately flowed down.

"Get up, Your Majesty and I have something to say. Follow the guards out of Tai Chi Palace and go back to your own mansion. That mansion is not far from Dali Temple. Just treat it as your reward for making meritorious contributions this time! The deed of the house will be delivered to your mansion tomorrow."

After Xu Yuan threw down this sentence, Zhao Pu was stunned as if he was following the guard at the door out of Tai Chi Palace in a dream.

He was a little unable to understand for a moment. He just did what he should do as a coroner. This could be said to be his duty, but because of these, he received so many rewards and became a serious official in the Tang Dynasty and an official working in Chang'an City.

What’s more important is how many people have been officials in Chang'an City for most of their lives but have not been able to buy a house, but now he has it.

Although it was just a small courtyard, a wing room, a hall and a bedroom, the living environment he had grown much better than when he was in Henan Road. He believed that as long as he worked harder, the spring of coronation might come.

After Zhao Pu left, Xu Yuan looked at Li Lan with some confusion, because he saw a hint of clue from Li Lan's face.
