Five days later, June 24th, south of Luoyang City.

Li Su only took Zhao Yun and more than a dozen riders, and then got two more carriages. He first pretended to be a business trip and came to inquire about the news. Everyone was wearing a burqa outside the armor, and the weapons were not held in their hands.

Dian Wei and the Five Hundred Guards were still in the Nanyang territory outside Yique Pass, pretending that Li Su was sick and could not move, so they stayed temporarily.

"Is this the Biguiyuan, where the late emperor asked all officials to pay four years of 'palace repair money' to be fully built? It's really magnificent and magnificent. Within two years of complete repair, the late emperor passed away. Alas, it's a waste of money."

It was the first time that Zhao Yun and others came to Luoyang from Yique to the south, so they couldn't help but blame him when they passed by Bi Guiyuan. He was frugal by nature. In history, he couldn't stand Liu Bei's scattering of spoils after entering Sichuan, so he dared to complain about what Emperor Ling did.

Li Su lifted the curtain of the car and whispered: "Zilong is careful. It's already close to the mainland, and we cannot reveal our identity. We must be careful everywhere."

Zhao Yun quickly apologized: "I was careless."

The group slowly crossed the Luoshui River and entered the city from Kaiyang Gate in the south of the city. Because they did not hold the rituals, the officers and soldiers guarding the city naturally questioned them closely. After reading the talisman, they asked:

"Yizhou people? Why do you come to Luoyang? Didn't you say that the Mi thieves are in chaos and the Shu Road will not be able to be opened?"

Of course, the identities of the soldiers on Fu Chuan are true, and they were issued by the prefect Liu Bei, so there is no flaw in their hometown.

Zhao Yun replied according to the rehearsal techniques: "It was a merchant from Shu. I heard that Zhang Lu was destroyed. I thought that the Shu Road was isolated for several years. The price of tea in Luoyang will definitely be high. The trafficking of wild tea in Shushan is here."

The soldiers guarding the city's eyes lit up: "Is it Shushan tea that is transported? The tax is not light. Come on, check the amount carefully and pay the tax in full!"

Zhao Yun forgot about this. After all, he was following the army before, so who dared to collect taxes? He was immediately angry.

But Li Su pulled him in the car window, and Zhao Yun immediately calmed down and handed over some money to cover up.

Anyway, there are not many goods, and most of the subsequent tributes are still in the Dianwei Army. The amount Li Su brought this time was to make some connections with his own people in private and give gifts.

The city gate guarding the city gate received the full tax and was overjoyed. He stopped checking the identity of the guests in the car and let them go directly.

...

After entering the city, Zhao Yun approached the car window and asked softly: "Zhonglang, should you go to Censor Cai's house as planned? If it is too early today, will our identity be exposed?"

Li Su: "Of course, it will be very secretive if you take my token and report it yourself."

Zhao Yun: "Oh"

The "Civilian Cai" they talked about was of course Cai Yong. After they arrived in Nanyang, they initially investigated the current changes in the court, especially when they asked about Cai Yong's movements. They knew that Cai Yong was finally recruited by the court for the second time at the beginning of this year, around March.

This time, it was a separate recruitment, not the "Fifteen Great Religion Wholesale Recruitment" like last year, so there is no problem of "Zheng Xuan, Chen Ji and others refused to recruit, and Cai Yong was too embarrassed to accept the recruitment alone".

So, Cai Yong finally entered the court a month and a half before Emperor Ling's death and was appointed as the Censor. To put it bluntly, although Cai Yong was elected as an official half a year ahead of time due to the butterfly effect, the starting position did not change.

This is not a coincidence or historical inertia, but the unspoken rules of the Han Dynasty officialdom were used. For officials who were once deposed and lowered, they were requisitioned and recalled to the court again. The official positions they were granted at the beginning were similar to those when they resigned.

Cai Yong was dismissed from office twelve years ago and was a clerk of 600 shi. Now he is naturally a clerk of 600 shi. He is nothing more than a clerk of the former under the Guangluxun system, while the latter is a clerk of the Shaofu system. (Guangluxun and Shaofu are both nine ministers)

However, people like Cai Yong have accumulated a lot of knowledge and reputation in the past twelve years in the wild. In this life, they wrote "Theory of Refuting Disasters and Disasters" and "Theory of Blessings in the Palace" with Li Su. Therefore, after becoming the Censor of the Attorney, they will definitely be promoted quickly to catch up with the qualifications accumulated in the past twelve years.

Although it may not be as fast as the rocket in another world Dong Zhuo's hand, it doesn't think it's much different.

A quarter of an hour later, they visited the Cai Mansion. It was at this moment that Li Su vaguely realized that the news that "Cai Yong was elected as the Censor" they had heard in Nanyang was indeed expired.

Cai Yong's appearance is full of people, so he shouldn't be a censor. He must have been promoted again in the past two or three months, and people from other places don't know.

Zhao Yun took the token given by Li Su and a gift, and asked the servants of the Cai family to come in and communicate. Some of the guests at the door were very dissatisfied with the uninvited guest who tried to jump into the lineup, but after a while, the changes in the matter surprised them.

Cai Yong personally ran to the door, lifted the curtains and whispered to Li Su, and then helped Li Su get out of the car with his own hands, covering Li Su and other guests in line to prevent them from seeing Li Su's appearance.

Because the weather was hot, Li Su also happened to fold the fan to cover her face, and it became even more unaware of it.

He invented the folding fan last fall. It was cold at that time, so it didn't spread for a long time. But half a year after the invention, it started to get hotter in early summer this year. The nobles of Luoyang discovered that the folding fan was a magical tool for pretending and gradually began to buy it.

The wealthy merchants led by the Zhen family also began to sell and copy. Because they just appeared, the price was a bit too high, and a casual folding fan could be sold for several thousand yuan. Now there are at least thousands of folding fans in Luoyang City, and Li Su can't be recognized by looking at the fan.

After turning into the second gate of Cai Mansion, Cai Yong asked anxiously:

"Didn't the virtuous son-in-law follow the General Zhenxi to pacify Zhang Lu and investigate the inside story of the case of the He Shu Road cut off? Why did he suddenly come to Beijing secretly? Could it be that Zhang Lu has already tried to pacify? If so, why don't you report the victory to Your Majesty and the General first?"

Li Su also gave Cai Yong a simple tribute out of etiquette and explained: "It's shameful to say that I was still rushing to suppress the rebellion in the mediocrity of the Qinling Mountains and pursuing the remnants of Zhang Lu. He left the Qinling Mountains ten days ago and arrived in Xiangyang. He learned that His Majesty had actually been more than two months ago...

The memorial memorial of the General Zhenxi whom I brought was written to the late emperor. I was afraid that it would be a bit of a problem if I handed it over directly, so I left the servants outside Yique Pass and went privately to Luo to find out the news to see if there was anything to be dealt with in advance."

Cai Yong nodded, led Li Su into the inner hall, and then stepped back. No outsiders were left in the room. He just went to his daughter's boudoir and called Cai Yan out to meet Li Su and reminisce about the past.

Li Su also took out some fried tea and placed it on the desk, which was considered the original meeting gift.

These teas are all wild tea sold by merchants in Shu, and are not planted. Li Su had prepared it when he got it, just like matcha, so he couldn't resurrect the tea into fried tea again.

But he could at least improve the tea drinking process, no longer add salt and pepper ingredients, but only drink pure bitter green brewed matcha.

In order to teach Jingcheng Yashi a new way to drink tea, Li Su didn't have to be polite to Cai Yong. After giving the gift, he took it apart in person and soaked three cups per person.

Cai Yan rushed out like a deer when he heard the news. After seeing Li Su making tea, he felt a little timid and embarrassed. He recovered and walked over slowly: "Senior brother, don't be fine, thank you all the way."

The engagement is still secret, and there is no problem for Cai Yan to continue calling her senior brother.

Li Su said a few words to her to show comfort, and then Cai Yan sat aside and drank tea without disturbing the adults' talk about the important matter for the time being.

Cai Yong then had the opportunity to speak and told Li Su some precautions about "how to explain the title in the memorial was written for the late emperor". Then he asked about the result of Zhang Lu's attack and whether there was any evidence related to Liu Yan's instructions.

Li Su was about to say this, but he followed suit: "We checked some personal and documentary evidence. Many prisoners said that Liu Yan could not wait to punish dissidents in Yizhou since the end of last year.

He killed Ren Qi, the governor of Jianwei County without authorization, and the former prefect of Ba County was killed by the local thief Gan Ning. At that time, the court reported that Gan Ning was guilty of his own behavior, but later we captured Gan Ning and found out that Liu Yan was also indulging in this.

In addition, several captured officials with rebels testified and formed confessions, saying that Liu Yan had already built the emperor's carriage in Shu County at the end of last year and used a six-chariot golden chariot.

We also seized some letters from Zhang Lu and Liu Yan, which contained more rebellious words and captured Zhang Lu's younger brother Zhang Wei alive. This time, we were about to ask Taishan to advise Zong Zheng and Jingshenggong as a neutral and fair person, so that we could teach Jingshenggong how to distinguish the authenticity of the handwriting at that time."

Cai Yong was stunned: "Let me teach Liu Jingsheng how to distinguish the authenticity of the handwriting of the book and proven? What does it mean?"

Li Su: "I have a lot of letters from Zhang Lu and Liu Yan here, some of which are related to the case of rebellion, and some are purely family matters and have no evidence.

However, when Zong Zheng found out the case, he would definitely identify the authenticity of the handwriting of the documentary. Taishan could teach him when Zong Zheng didn't know how to distinguish it: first copy a few copies of Zhang Lu's homely letters in other people's handwriting, and then show these copies to Zhang Wei together.

Let Zhang Wei recognize what was Zhang Lu's handwriting or Liu Yan's handwriting, and promised that if Zhang Wei could recognize him, he would spare him and die, or let him die without having to break up the market. Zhang Wei was captured when our army broke through Yangping Pass and was isolated from the outside world. He still didn't know whether his brother was dead. He could only speculate that Zhang Lu had been roughly pacified if I sent him to Beijing."

Li Su later taught at the Public Security University for this "criminal investigation comparison and cross-examination" idea, of course, he could do it casually. Although he taught a course on negotiation expert, he was influenced by the same university, he basically understood the common sense of criminal investigation.

But when Cai Yong heard this, he was amazed at the prospective son-in-law's meticulous thinking on solving the case, and even a little bad premonition.

He waved his daughter to retreat first, and then asked Li Su: "Can you show me those letters...?"

Li Su had asked him, so of course he showed it.

In this world, the most similar thing to copy calligraphy is Zhong Yao, and the second is Cai Yong. Cai Yong's calligraphy is actually better than Zhong Yao, but because his calligraphy is good, he does not need to imitate others, so his imitation skills are slightly inferior, which is entirely due to his profound basic skills in calligraphy.

Zhong Yao imitated well because he had been copying Cai Yong's style for more than ten years.

After Cai Yong took Li Su's letters, he read them quickly and soon became a little cold sweat: "Son-in-law... I'm sorry, these rebellious letters look real, but...their handwriting and letters that write home-cooked content are originally just like the right but not right!"

Li Su smiled and pressed his voice to the lowest point: "Then I'll have to copy it all over Taishan, so that the Cai family can be prosperous forever, and the world will be more peaceful, and the people will be grateful to you."

Although he went to find Zhong Yao to commit fraud, his skills were better, but his friendship with Li Su had not reached this level, and Li Su had to worry about whether Zhong Yao would betray him.

PS: Think about it... I have too much preparation and too much background explanation in the first two chapters today, so I will add another update.

In addition to the conditions for adding updates mentioned last time, I thought about it again and again and added another one. In the future, if you encounter the following situations, you may also add one more update on the day for free:

First of all, when encountering a side plot, the protagonist cannot appear for two consecutive days. In order to pass these plots as soon as possible, the third update will be added to the normal state of the day.

Secondly, if you encounter a large number of war scenes without the protagonist's chance to perform, and if the battle scenes exceed two chapters, you will automatically add an update on the same day.

Finally, it is the kind of thing that today has a lot of background in the times and has to lay the foundation for farming information, so I will also add another update.
Chapter completed!
