Chapter 491: Reaching the sky in one step(1/2)
Di Yusen does have a few tricks up his sleeve. Perhaps in today's world, he is not the number one expert in breaking eucalyptus, but at least he is among the top.
He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of breaking eucalyptus.
Initially, he suspected that the military general was responsible, but after many investigations, he found that if it was a military general who secretly carried out the attack, there would be absolutely no trace of it, and remote control would be even more impossible.
Di Yusen would not believe it if he did not personally take charge of such a major event as killing the capital commander and assassinating His Majesty.
Among the civil servants, there were actually many who disliked him, but in the end, the person he was most suspicious of was Liu Renxiang, the head of the civil service department.
Obviously there was nothing suspicious about Liu Renxiang, but Di Yusen's intuition told him that Liu Renxiang was the mastermind behind the scenes.
After having this conjecture, the next thing to do is to find his motive.
The biggest factor among them is Liu Renxiang's appearance.
He is very healthy and has rosy blood.
It doesn't seem like a big problem, but this is the most abnormal thing.
You must know that before the salary reform, the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were so scarce that eating meat was a rare thing for officials in the Ming Dynasty, especially the capital.
Therefore, here in the capital, you can see that many ministers are good-looking and live a difficult life.
On the other hand, Liu Renxiang not only lacks the flavor of the dishes, but is actually physically strong.
According to Liu Renxiang, it was because he had no one at home and he didn't even need servants, so he ate all the money he saved.
However, Di Yusen found out that last year, there were servants in Liu Renxiang's home, and there was not just one, but as many as three.
But later it was said that he was fired.
Di Yusen didn't believe it, so he went to find the old man in Yahang, asked for the servant's address, and conducted a secret investigation.
Originally I wanted to find out some secrets, but the place I wrote to said that these servants had not returned to their hometowns and had always been in the capital.
This is a bit strange.
Naturally, it was impossible for a servant to disappear for no reason, so Di Yusen visited Liu Renxiang again regarding this matter.
Liu Renxiang acted very surprised. He gave him severance money, but why didn't he return to his hometown?
"I never thought that the old servant who had been following me for many years would actually be missing."
"This matter must not be tolerated easily. I ask Prime Minister Di to help me seek justice for him!"
Liu Renxiang immediately chose to report to the official, that is, to report to the official Di Yusen, requesting to find the servant who had been following him for many years, whether he was dead or alive.
But these days, if someone who has disappeared for more than half a year encounters a robber or something on the road, it is completely normal, and there is no possibility of looking for him.
At the moment, I could only respond verbally, but there was no reason to ask again.
Di Yusen then approached Jin Yiwei for help.
Jinyiwei has creation files for all high-ranking officials in the capital.
And in the file, it is indeed recorded that Liu Renxiang dismissed his servants.
There is a butler and two servants, both from out of town.
It even records the amount of money given to each person. In such a situation, it should not be faked.
It seems that the clues have been broken, but in fact more discoveries have been made.
Because the time when the servants were dismissed happened to be the time when the rumors spread.
At that time, not only the capital, but also all the government forces were chasing Shanxi merchants. Whenever Shanxi merchants saw them, they arrested them and killed many of them.
If we say who is the most ruthless, His Majesty and His Majesty the Grand Sun, perhaps the Shanxi merchants will be ranked first, and no one will be ranked second.
This raises the possibility of Liu Renxiang colluding with Shanxi merchants.
During the time when the rumors were circulating, Jin Yiwei's supervision of officials and nobles was weak because of the Shanxi merchants' problems.
Except for some important ministers and nobles, others are naturally not so strict and will take away their hands.
Di Yusen felt that it was at this time that Liu Renxiang came into contact with Shanxi merchants, and several servants who seemed to have disappeared and been dismissed were actually silenced by Liu Renxiang.
Of course, you don't need to do it yourself to silence them. With the ability of Shanxi merchants, it is really easy to make a few ordinary people disappear quietly. It has been so long, even if they are investigated, there is no way to investigate.
However, once the context is deduced, it will naturally become much easier to find evidence.
Since it is colluding with Shanxi merchants, it will be clear if we check the situation of Shanxi merchants.
Nowadays in the capital, takeout is becoming more and more prosperous, and many wealthy families have the habit of ordering meals in restaurants.
When Liu Renxiang had no one to cook, he naturally had the food delivered by the restaurant. But Liu Renxiang was different from others. Ordinary people would order food from one restaurant for a long time, but Liu Renxiang ordered food from three restaurants at the same time.
A rotation takes place every three days.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Liu Renxiang likes the different tastes of the three restaurants, but in the eyes of Di Yusen, this is a bit obvious.
After checking the details of the three restaurants, none of them have any connection with Shanxi merchants, so the problem lies with the delivery boy.
After some secret investigation, the waiter at Zuixianju Restaurant caught Di Yusen's eye.
Delivering food is usually in a hurry. After all, if the food is cold, it will not taste good and the signboard will be easily damaged.
Only the boy from Zuixianju would deliberately bypass a section of the road and walk through another alley every time he delivered it.
This route is obviously wrong.
After becoming suspicious, Di Yusen directly contacted Jin Yiwei's people and arrested them when they were about to arrive at Liu Renxiang's residence via a detour.
But when Jin Yiwei revealed his identity, the boy didn't dare to hide it at all, so he confessed everything.
Someone asked him to go to a place to pick up envelopes when delivering food.
The envelope was placed in a small wooden tube, and the small wooden tube was hidden in the belly of the fish that Liu Renxiang ordered every time.
.....
"Are you sure he will come?"
Zhu Ying sat by the window, looking at the night view of the Qinhuai River, and asked Di Yusen opposite.
Di Yusen sat half-assed on the edge and replied respectfully: "He will definitely come over."
Zhu Ying nodded.
During the day today, he received a report from Di Yusen, saying that he had discovered the murder of four capital commanders and the real culprit behind the assassination.
And provided corresponding evidence and a series of speculations, and finally set up a trap for him to get in.
And this person is Liu Renxiang, the head of the Ministry of Personnel.
To be honest, Zhu Ying really didn't have much impression of Liu Renxiang. There were too many people in charge of various ministries. Even though they went to court every day, they rarely said that it was their turn to stand up and speak.
Don't think that just because you can stand in Fengtian Hall, you are qualified to communicate with the emperor every day. It is often like low-level officials who are rarely qualified to perform.
Especially those in the back row, basically every morning in the morning, they belong to the same audience.
Just when there is a general meeting, you listen, and then act according to the emperor's wishes, and understand some of the emperor's and your superiors' ideas.
Generally, those who can communicate with the emperor frequently are the bosses of various departments. Unless ordinary officials perform well, they basically accept questions passively.
Liu Renxiang is like this, and he is low-key, so his presence is very low.
"I didn't expect that a small chief of staff could have such great energy. Not only could he secretly murder four commanders, but he could also assassinate them. It's really audacious."
Zhu Ying sighed somewhat. After carefully reading Di Yusen's evidence, he already knew the details of the matter.
It's just that the real culprit is just a chief official, which is quite surprising.
"Reporting to your Highness, this is something I have never thought of." Di Yusen hesitated for a moment and then replied.
In fact, Zhu Ying said this to himself, but as a courtier, Di Yusen did not answer after His Highness Taisun spoke, which was considered rude.
Zhu Ying turned around, looked at Di Yusen and said: "If I know about this matter, you will definitely get to the bottom of it. I originally thought that such a situation would be quite difficult, or it might be impossible this year."
"I didn't expect you to really surprise me. It only took less than four months to find out such a big deal."
"At present, whether it is the Public Security Department or the Jin Yiwei, there are many experts in investigating crimes. They are also constantly investigating in secret, but so far they have not gained anything."
"This Liu Renxiang is extremely cunning and cautious. He has never come forward and is very secretive in his work. Even so, he still cannot escape your pursuit."
"Di Yusen, you are very good. I did not misjudge you."
Zhu Ying was indeed very satisfied.
For the Ming Dynasty, especially the current Ming Dynasty, saying that it is thirsty for talents feels a bit low. In all aspects of development, a large number of outstanding talents are needed.
Among them, talents like Di Yusen are the most rare.
This is not something that can only be learned by studying. It involves many influences, the most important of which is being able to uphold the impartiality of the court to the outside world.
This is not only a matter of experience, but also requires extremely high IQ.
Allowing those who violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty to accept sanctions and maintaining the dignity of the law are extremely important to Zhu Ying's idea of governing the country according to law.
When Di Yusen heard His Highness Taisun's praise, he quickly stood up from his seat and stood aside, bowing deeply: "I can't believe that His Highness Taisun praised me so much."
Zhu Ying smiled and waved her hand for him to say: "Not bad, but he has a humble temperament."
Then asked; "How old are you this year."
