Chapter 284 Lessons From the Past

"You look like you are from the Dali Temple?"

Just after Di Renjie made his shocking statement, Tie Shou, one of the Four Famous Detectives, asked with interest.

Di Renjie answered truthfully: "I am currently the Dali Temple Secretary."

"You just said that you found the murderer?"

Wu Qing continued with a hint of sneer in his words, "You have been wandering around the stove just now. Do you think that these Later Jin envoys died of depression?"

"Yes!"

Fatty Di nodded.

As soon as this was said.

The officials of the six gates around wanted to laugh, but they held back.

This guy is too stupid.

Did they not think of this possibility?

"This Lord Di, I have arranged for the officers to check the stove pipes before, but they are not blocked." An official of the six gates laughed.

In his opinion, the fat guy in front of him was a drunkard.

Only Lin Chen heard Di Renjie's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the stove again.

He didn't think Di Renjie was talking nonsense.

Suddenly.

Lin Chen noticed some unusual details of the stove.

For example, the charcoal fire in the stove.

Many of them were gray and black.

This was a sign of incomplete burning.

Di Renjie ignored the sarcasm in the other party's words, and explained: "The ventilation of this stove is naturally fine, but colleagues, do you know that there has been frost in the past three days?"

"Frost?"

"What does this have to do with the murder?"

Hearing the ruthlessness of the word frost, his expression changed slightly.

He immediately looked at Zhui Ming and motioned him to go to the roof to see the situation of the vent.

This three or four meter high roof is just a matter of maneuvering for a master of Qinggong like Zhui Ming.

Soon, Zhui Ming came down.

"Big sister, there is snow on the vent!"

As soon as this was said, everyone present was shocked.

Lin Chen understood.

It is true that there is ventilation in this house.

If it is blocked, there is no difference between having it and not having it.

Furthermore, if there is frost at night, the stove vent will melt the silt due to the discharge of heat.

Because of this, the melted water drops just dripped into the stove.

This explains why the charcoal fire in the stove has traces of incomplete combustion.

Then if the heat of the stove is not enough to melt the snow piled in the stove, it will cause ventilation blockage.

Now at noon, the snow piled in the vent has not melted.

It can be seen that Di Renjie's inference is correct.

It can be said that the case is closed.

If it is told to others, the case will make people laugh.

The people of the Later Jin envoys died too hastily.

"Is it really so?"

Di Renjie, the hero who solved the case, doubted his own judgment.

Lin Chen checked the snow piled in the vent, and the pure Yang true energy was slightly agitated, melting it.

"Huh?"

Under the melted snow pile, a piece of coarse cloth covering the vent appeared.

Seeing this, Lin Chen's eyes condensed slightly, and he reached out to pick up the coarse cloth.

There are small holes for ventilation on this coarse cloth, and it is nailed to the vent with wooden nails.

Seeing this, Lin Chen went to the roofs of other murder cases to check and found similar coarse cloth.

What he didn't expect was that.

Lin Chen found a purple pattern in the corner of a coarse cloth.

This purple pattern is a curved venomous snake.

"Venomous snake?"

This inexplicably familiar venomous snake pattern made Lin Chen seem to have grasped something key.

Where has he seen this pattern before?

Then, a key word flashed through Lin Chen's mind, and his eyes shrank slightly.

Snake Spirit!

This exists as a villain organization in the story of Di Renjie, intending to subvert Wu Zetian's rule.

Unexpectedly, this world of Zongwu also mixed the Snake Spirit in it.

But why did this Snake Spirit kill the members of the Later Jin envoys?

Lin Chen has been able to confirm it.

The death of the members of the Later Jin envoys was by no means an accident, but the Snake Spirit used the appearance of an accident to commit murder.

This is in line with the style of the Snake Spirit organization.

Could it be that this snake spirit is also thinking of overthrowing Li Zhao's throne as the original story said?

Lin Chen's expression became strange when he thought of this.

This Li Zhao didn't have a princess with an outstanding figure.

This is getting off topic.

Lin Chen suppressed his doubts and did not intend to explain his discovery to outsiders.

Instead, he planned to secretly order the Jinyiwei to investigate the so-called snake spirit.

At the same time.

Kule and others found it incredible to learn about the hasty death of their colleagues.

For this reason, the Dali Temple had to conduct a demonstration.

A live pig was used.

It was placed in an airtight room and the stove was lit.

One night later, the live pig died.

The facts were here, and Kule and his group of Jurchen barbarians believed that there was a risk of sudden death from burning fire.

Even if the Dali Temple repeatedly explained that this was caused by some kind of depression caused by the burning of the flame.

Of course.

For Kule, the result was not important.

Because Li Zhao was considering the impact, he said that he would summon the Later Jin envoys to the grand court meeting three days later.

The reason why the Later Jin envoys came to Li Tang was to discuss the abolition of the title of the king and return to Li Tang.

Naturally, there was a lot of bargaining.

However, Lin Chen knew very well that the purpose of the Later Jin envoys was not simple.

If it was a historical fragment that was replayed.

Then the next grand court meeting would see a famous scene: the King of Qin circling the pillar and the King carrying a sword.

However, Lin Chen was more curious about what happened.

What reward will he get for completing this historical repetition?

In these three days.

Lin Chen was also very leisurely.

Go to the palace to tease your daughter, Li Tang's Princess Yuling.

And to appease Long Er and Jia Yuanchun, who has been canonized as a nobleman.

This noble daughter of the Jia family got used to it quickly.

What Lin Chen didn't expect was even more.

Jia Yuanchun seemed quite relieved about sleeping with his wife.

Recently, the ladies in the harem are saying that Concubine Jia and Concubine Yu Shu have a very good relationship and are as close as sisters.

Going in and out every day is as close as one person.

As for the reason, only the two girls themselves know.

Yushu's face turned red and she gave Lin Chen a resentful look.

She didn't know where the enemy in front of her learned the tricks of teasing others.

As for the phoenix couch, there was Jia Yuanchun who was sleeping deeply.

Lin Chen took the time to glance at the reward package in the system backpack.

Yushu finally got him.

Yes.

Among the women Lin Chen befriended, most of them were initiated by him.

However, in Yushu's case, Lin Chen became the passive party.

As expected of a Goryeo woman, she has unique experience in serving people.

If it were another dynasty, what Lin Chen did would be called a cholera harem.

Lao Ai, who was accused of this crime, was quartered by five horses.

Dong Zhuo, a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, was also lit with sky lanterns.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt a slight chill on his neck.

As the saying goes, lessons learned from past mistakes.

Although Lin Chen did everything under the personal instruction of the emperor Li Zhao.

According to Li Zhao's original words.

Within three years, the concubine in the harem must be pregnant with five sons!

Lin Chen didn't even know what to say.

Li Zhao has already arranged the draft of girls and is preparing to expand the harem.
