Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

A few days ago, the custom-made fish symbol was finally completed and sent along with the new red official uniform. Di Renjie successfully took office as the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

Xue Zhengqing smiled and patted his shoulder: "Old Di, this outfit is handsome."

Di Renjie smiled from the bottom of his heart.

He had never imagined such a wonderful start.

His original life goal was to be promoted to the sixth rank at the age of forty and to the fourth rank at the age of knowing his destiny.

Unexpectedly, he actually achieved this life goal twenty years ahead of schedule?

Really, I have to thank someone.

Xue Zhengqing took Di Renjie's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Old Di, how do you want to thank me?"

"Ah?" Di Renjie was caught off guard by this question.

It's bad, it seems that the contribution of Xue Siqing has been forgotten.

Di Renjie blushed, and said, "How about I treat you to a drink?"

"Okay, I'll invite Song Lang when the time comes."

"Okay."

Xue Zhengqing was stunned. Why did you answer so quickly this time?

At the same time, another Dali Temple Shaoqing, who was transferred from the Ministry of Justice, also came over.

"Ahem, Xue Siqing, Di Shaoqing, Ouyang, meet you two."

Di Renjie quickly responded, "Meet Ouyang Shaoqing."

He took a quick look at his new colleague and saw that he looked handsome and not very old.

But he felt a little weak.

Ouyang Yu waved his hand, "It's okay. I've been like this since I was a child, and I'm weak and sickly."

Xue Zhengqing glanced at Ouyang Yu's information casually, and his eyes widened suddenly.

"In the 23rd year of Zhenguan, he won the first place in the Jinshi exam at the age of 20?"

Good guy! This is a tough guy!

You know, the Jinshi exam is not easy, it is more difficult than the Mingjing exam, and the number of admitted students does not exceed 20, but the number of applicants is very exaggerated.

Di Renjie was a Mingjing student, while Ouyang Yu was the top scorer in the Jinshi exam.

The starting points of the two people in their official careers are different.

Ouyang Yu was directly assigned to the Ministry of Justice, while Di Renjie could only go to Bianzhou to be a judge. This is the most obvious difference between the two.

However, after a few years, the two are back to the same starting line.

Xue Zhengqing quickly handed Ouyang Yu's information to Di Renjie, and he whispered: "This guy is a tough guy, the top scorer in the Jinshi exam!"

Di Renjie was also shocked. In order to pursue his dream, he also applied for the Jinshi exam at the beginning, but was defeated by the cruel reality. After failing three years, he chose the simpler Mingjing exam and took the exam several times until he was 23 years old.

And Ouyang Yu, at the age of 20, passed the imperial examination twice and was admitted as a Jinshi, and he was also the top scholar?

However, Di Renjie did not belittle himself.

So what if he was the top scholar? Now he is on equal footing with me.

......

Song Zhen took time out during work to come to the Dali Temple to play.

He patted Di Renjie on the shoulder happily: "Huaiying, not bad, this fourth-rank official uniform fits me very well."

"Shouzheng, are you free tonight?"

"Yes! Of course! Huaiying is treating us, so I must be there."

At this time, a white-faced scholar came over and saluted respectfully: "Meet the Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

Song Zhen saw that he was wearing the same official uniform as Di Renjie, so he must be Ouyang Yu, right?

"Shaoqing Ouyang, you are polite."

Ouyang Yu was slightly surprised. Generally speaking, only subordinates salute their superiors. How can a high-ranking official salute a low-ranking official?

"I think this Taichang Temple Minister is also a wonderful person."

Favorability +1.

Song Zhen has always been like this. He is very polite to everyone and does not have any class ideas.

"Oh, Old Xue! Long time no see, long time no see!"

Xue Zhengqing twitched his lips. Didn't they meet at the morning court today?

Song Zhen pulled him aside and whispered, "I have something to ask for help."

"Song Lang, tell me."

"Where is the household registration book when I started working?"

Xue Zhengqing asked with a strange expression, "Song Lang, what are you looking for this for?"

"Just take a look."

Song Zhen planned to first take a look at the identity that Yan Liben had created for him, and then modify it according to the situation.

Every time he started working in a place, the local government would keep a replica of the household registration book.

After the revision, Wu Da was asked to sneak into the Ministry of Revenue and the Dali Temple, and then he sent people to the government offices in Bianzhou and Bingzhou to replace the household books he had rewritten.

In this way, the purpose of replacing the prince with a cat was achieved.

Therefore, Song Zhen started with the Dali Temple.

Xue Zhengqing ordered people to find Song Zhen's information from the library and then handed it to him.

Song Zhen read it carefullyHis own household book.

"Song Zhen, unnamed, was born in Bianzhou. He was separated from his family at an early age and wandered in the wilderness. It is said that he was from the Song family in Songzhou..."

In this household book, Song Zhen's past is described in a relatively brief way.

For example, he was separated from his family at the age of six, and then drifted all the way to Bianzhou.

Songzhou, which is Shangqiu in later generations, is only more than 150 kilometers away from Bianzhou (Kaifeng).

It seems to be true, not too outrageous.

From this, it can be seen that Yan Liben really put in a lot of effort.

However, this household book has a serious loophole, that is, the age problem.

It says that Song Zhen was separated from his family at the age of six.

Then the question is, if this is true, where did his musical talent come from?

This is completely unscientific! It looks fake at first glance.

If someone really wants to find faults in this, they will naturally not think that Song Zhen is a time traveler with a natural musical talent.

Instead, they will doubt Song Zhen's origin, which is definitely problematic.

Then after some imagination, they think that he is not from a poor family, but a lower class commoner.

A humble commoner became a third-rank Taichang Temple Minister. Once it spreads out, the gentry and poor children in the world will besiege him.

When Yan Liben drafted this household book for him, he would never have thought that Song Zhen would climb to such a high position, so it's not his fault.

If he was just a judge of Bingzhou, this qualification would be enough.

After Song Zhen read it once, he smiled slightly and returned the household book to Xue Zhengqing.

The other party didn't even look at it, and threw the household book to his subordinates and asked them to put it back.

"Let's go, Song Lang, let's go to Pingkangfang for a drink."

"Don't you take Huaiying with you?"

"He is different from the two of us, and he can't leave his post casually."

Song Zhen was shocked. Oh, you are so damn reasonable.

Being a leader is different. You can slack off, right?

So, the two of them got on the same carriage and came to Pingkangfang.

When Pei Yaojun heard his subordinates say that Song Lang was here, he quickly got up to look for him.

Then he saw Song Zhen in a private room, but at this time, there was another person beside him.

Pei Yaojun had to pretend to pass by and pretend not to know him.

The two drank a little too much, and Xue Zhengqing blushed and sighed.

"Song Lang, you are really my lucky star. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have risen to the top and brought honor to my family."

"Old Xue, what are you talking about?"

"The truth!"

Song Zhen saw that the other party's expression didn't seem to be fake, and he felt mixed emotions.

Someone once said something similar to him.

Because he came, a group of people around him had a better future.

But this future did not originally belong to them.

The wings of the butterfly have spread, flapping the wind of history, some people fly, some people fall.

......

A week later, Di Renjie and Song Zhen suddenly welcomed an old friend.

"Lu, the governor?"

"Ahem, both of you, how are you?" Lu Yang coughed twice with an awkward look.

Di Renjie respected this old boss very much.

Song Zhen turned his head to look at Cui Qiufang, and asked curiously: "Seventh aunt, what are you doing? Why did the whole family come here?"

"My family, he was transferred to Luoyang and became Jingzhao Yin."

The original Jingzhao Yin, who came from the Longxi Li family, concealed the case of a scholar causing trouble and was arranged by Li Zhi to settle accounts.

As for Song Jingzhao Yin, who came later, he was demoted because of the Buddha head case.

The governor of Shangzhou is a third-rank official, and the governor of Luoyang is also a third-rank official.

However, one works in Shangzhou, and the other is appointed in the imperial city. Which one is more important?

It cannot be called a horizontal transfer. Judging from the status, it should be a promotion.

With it, there are naturally higher risks.

"Governor Lu——"

Lu Yang put on a face: "Still calling me Governor Lu?"

"Ahem, uncle-in-law."

"Hehe, good nephew."

Song Zhen saw his aggressive look and wanted to disgust him again!

Humph! You wait for me.

Di Renjie then remembered that they had this relationship.

Isn't that a close relationship?

Lu Shu was helped by his servants and got off the carriage.

Seeing this, Song Zhen hurriedly saluted. This old man had helped him a lot.

If there was no Lu Shu, how could the first, second and third houses of the Fanyang Lu family stand up to speak for him that day?

"Shouzheng, long time no see. I didn't expect that your official position is much higher than Yang'er's now."

Although the third rank and the third rank are both third rank, there is a huge gap between the two.

"Mr. Lu, you are too kind. I'm just lucky.""Who can be promoted to the third rank official position has anything to do with good luck? Ordinary people can't do it."

Song Zhen smiled awkwardly.

Later, Song Zhen spent a thousand strings of cash to buy a one-acre courtyard opposite Yan Liben and gave it to Lu Yang's family.

Lu Yang and Cui Qiufang refused in every possible way, but unexpectedly Cui Qiuhua came forward.

"Sister, just accept it. This is a gift from my son-in-law. We are all family, so let's not talk about this."

Although Cui Qiuhua didn't know how much money Song Zhen, the son-in-law, had, he could guess it after living in the Song Mansion for a few months.

Song Zhen is very rich!

Even though it costs a thousand strings of cash to buy a house, a thousand strings of cash now is just a drop in the bucket for Song Zhen.

What Lu Yang didn't expect was that he had just taken office as the Jingzhao Yin of Luoyang the second day, and his butt was not even warm yet.

Another murder happened again!

The death of the deceased was very strange!

Lu Yang: “.......” (ó﹏ò｡)

【This case will involve various Taoist magic, such as divination, spells, and incantations.

In order to pursue the truth, I bought two books and found a 200M PDF about astronomy, geography, feng shui, etc.

All the Taoist spells in the article have traceable sources and are not fabricated.

It may be a little fantasy, but there is no way, Taoism is like this. I will try my best to add scientific explanations.

Since we have written about foreign Buddhism, it would be unreasonable not to write about local Taoism. The characters to appear are tentatively Li Chunfeng and Sun Simiao.

It is not to promote FJMX, but to show the ancient Chinese culture. 】
