Chapter 1012 Cut the mess with a quick knife(1/2)
"You mean that Silla envoy Jin Shengqiang arranged for someone to go to Guanshishan Academy to steal potatoes?"
In the Chu King's Mansion, Li Kuan heard Di Renjie talk about the potato theft case.
"Yes, my subordinates withheld their accounts and confirmed that they had paid several expenses in the past month to purchase houses inside and outside Chang'an City; although these things are very low-key, and even these houses have no information on changing the deeds, this makes things even more suspicious.
In addition, the Silla people are now the most powerful country on the peninsula and have always wanted to unify the peninsula. They have fewer people in the mainland and have a very urgent need for high-yield crops such as potatoes.
Combined with the situations confirmed on the spot, I think this matter is probably done by Jin Shengqiang.”
Di Renjie said everything but did not exaggerate it.
"Prince, then Silla Queen Jin Shengman has been quite respectful in the past two years. Every now and then, we will order people to send maids, ginseng and other things. Your Majesty should have a good impression of them. If we rashly search the Silla envoy's garrison, it is likely to cause other storms."
Ma Zhou reminded him next to him.
"The Silla people are ambitions. The more they look very respectful to the Tang Dynasty on the surface, the more they have a great intention. According to the Information Investigation Bureau, the Silla people have hindered us from expanding their territory. In fact, the whole country has complained.
In recent years, they have realized that there is a huge gap with all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty and are constantly looking for ways to learn from our Tang Dynasty. Huaiying said that this potato was arranged by Jin Shengqiang, and I think it is entirely possible."
Li Kuan ignored Ma Zhou's worries and directly affirmed Di Renjie's speculation.
"Master, then let's arrange for someone to search the Silla envoy's garrison now?"
Di Renjie was delighted and couldn't help but smile.
"Can a search just solve the problem? Have you searched me for missing potatoes from their base? If you can't search, it will be a warning to the snake, or even a raid.
Since we have basically confirmed that the potato was stolen by the Silla people, it was stolen by them! Whether it was stolen by them or not, they were stolen by them!
You can take people directly over and arrest everyone in the Silla envoy's garrison, and interrogate them one by one. Use all the interrogation methods mastered by your police station, and I don't believe that the interrogation will not come out."
Li Kuan has always wanted to find excuses to suppress Silla.
The situation in the northeast of the Tang Dynasty is generally relatively stable. To talk about unstable factors, Silla is definitely the most important unstable factor.
In addition, there are Jingle and Shiwei further north. Li Kuan has not yet figured out how to deal with them.
But if the Silla people find an excuse to suppress them, then the North and South Goguryeo can exert a little strength, and Jin Shengman will suffer heavy losses.
Want to unify the peninsula?
hehe!
Datang did not nod. She, Jin Shengman, has this ability?
He Li Kuan did not nod. What's the use of Silla thinking more?
"Master, don't worry! This potato theft case was definitely done by the Silla people! The day after tomorrow, the Datang Daily will publish relevant news, leaving the Ministry of Rites and the Censorate without saying anything!"
When Di Renjie heard Li Kuan say this, he immediately understood what his master meant.
Anyway, he was dealing with the Silla people, not the Tang people, so he had no psychological burden at all.
"If this is the case, it would be best to make a few more noises, that is, someone stole the craftsmanship of the Iron and Glass workshop of the King of Chu Mansion, and then they all framed them all on the Silla people.
This will not make people feel that we are making a big deal and they will not have the chance to turn things around."
Ma Zhou is not stupid either. Now Li Kuan's attitude is obvious, but he naturally adjusted his ideas immediately and improved the action plan according to the direction directed by Li Kuan.
"I'll leave the specific operation to you! Anyway, Jin Shengqiang and his group of people don't even think about leaving the Tang Dynasty alive!"
...
The envoys of various vassal states were in a courtyard under the Ministry of Rites in the early days.
However, in recent years, all the vassal states basically had fixed personnel staying in Chang'an City, and each of them purchased residences in the city.
The Silla envoy's residence is in a vast courtyard in Chang'an City.
"Langjun, all these potatoes have been hidden in the yard outside the city. Even if someone enters our yard, they cannot find the shadows of the potatoes, because we are buried in the backyard of our neighbor's house. After the wind passes, we will transport them back to Jincheng."
Jin Dabang is still as steady as ever in his work, which makes Jin Shengqiang very satisfied.
"The power of the Datang Police Station is stronger than we imagined. Just now, the servants came to report that some unknown figures began to appear on the streets outside; similar situations were also found in the nearby Japanese envoys' stations. I guess they have already placed their suspicion on various vassal states."
Jin Shengqiang's fear of the Tang Dynasty was a little deeper than before.
He has confirmed all the action plans of Jin Dabang.
Although there was a little accident in the middle, it did not hurt the overall situation.
However, Tang Ren locked in the target of doubt so quickly, which made him more vigilant.
"So what about suspicion? Everything is about evidence. As long as the missing potatoes cannot be found, the Tang people will have no evidence. They love face the most and will never attack the envoys of our vassal states casually, otherwise it will likely make the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty unstable at that time."
"I hope so! It's best if Tangren investigated for a few days and did not make any progress, he took the initiative to give up the case. After all, they got so many potatoes from America at once, and if they lost a few baskets, the losses would be very limited."
As soon as Jin Shengqiang's words came to the ground, a servant ran in panic.
"Langjun, there are many police officers coming outside, surrounding our entire station!"
"What did you say?"
Jin Shengqiang's face changed.
"Impossible! These Tang people have no evidence, so how could they take action rashly? I finished my meal with Director Ma with Director Ma at the Yang Tea Food. Before it was dark, they took action?"
"Langjun, I guess these Tang people may be bluffing and want to see which country's envoys are panicking first. As long as they can't come up with evidence, we will just admit nothing. They can't just take us into the police cell, right?"
Although Jin Dabang's face changed, his heart was still calm.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
Before Jin Shengqiang and Jin Dabang finished discussing, a noise came from outside, and then Ma Zhou and Di Renjie appeared at the door.
"Director Ma, what do you mean? Is the Tang Dynasty going to go to war with our Silla? Is it like this that the Tian Khan commands the vassal states and bullies the vassal states at will? Do the Tang court know how you do things like this?"
As soon as Jin Shengqiang saw Ma Zhou, he spoke loudly and asked, wanting to have the right to speak.
However, the right to speak is not that your voice is louder, nor that you speak first.
"Jin Shengqiang, there is an old saying in our Tang Dynasty that "I never do bad things in my life, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night." You have such a panic on your face. Could it be that you did something bad things?"
Ma Zhou stared at Jin Shengqiang without turning his eyes, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Since the police station has taken action, then the potato theft case can only be done by Kim Seung-qiang.
Yes, no, too.
Ma Zhou is not that pedantic enough to tell evidence or something there.
To some extent, this is already a political event.
Whether he was himself or Jin Shengqiang, he was a piece in the chessboard of His Highness King Chu.
"Hmph, why am I panic? Your police station is so arrogant, are you not afraid of arousing the fear of the ministers in the court? Are you not afraid of arousing the impeachment of the Censorate? Are you not afraid of I impeachment of you to His Majesty Tian Khan?"
Jin Shengqiang took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come. He knows that he probably can't be good today.
"Take all back to the police station. If there is any resistance, kill them without any consequences!"
Di Renjie, who was standing by, saw that Jin Shengqiang wanted to threaten Ma Zhou, immediately gave an order and asked the police to start acting.
"Clang!"
The big iron rod of Jin Dabang hit the ground and stood directly in front of Jin Shengqiang. Obviously, he didn't want the police to take the person away.
"I'll count to three! If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being rude!"
Di Renjie sneered, took out a steel crossbow from his arms and pointed it at the golden stick.
Several police officers behind him also took out crossbows.
The atmosphere in the field suddenly became tense.
"one!"
"Big stick, put it down!"
Without waiting for Di Renjie to say that, Jin Shengqiang took two steps forward and took off the weapon from Jin Dabang's hand.
From Di Renjie's eyes, he knew that if Jin Dabang really dared to resist, he would definitely be shot like a hedgehog.
No matter how good your martial arts are, it is useless in front of so many crossbows.
Besides, once Jin Dabang resists first, the initiative will fall even more to the police station.
"snort!"
Di Renjie snorted coldly, waved his hand, and immediately a group of police officers rushed forward and took down all Jin Shengqiang, Jin Dabang and others.
Then there was a search of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
...
There was such a big change in the Silla envoy's garrison, and the nearby Japanese envoy's garrison naturally received news.
"Ito-kun, you haven't done anything illegal recently, have you?"
To be continued...
