Judge Dee’s Mystery Episode 3 Synopsis: Chang’an City’s clouds and clouds reveal hidden secrets

On the fifth day, Di Renjie and the others disguised themselves as handymen and sneaked into the archives to look for the list of people who left the capital nine days ago.Ma Rong was unable to participate because he was illiterate, but Qiao Tai found the book in time and confirmed that the four deceased were from the Royal Forest Army.As Di Renjie guessed, they were ordered to falsely convey Yi's decree and poison Chen Zhuliang before being silenced.

The three of them split up and searched the market for clues related to the badge.When a merchant from the Western Regions saw the badge in Di Renjie's hand, he immediately recognized that it had belonged to Emperor Taizong's Xuanjia Army, the former unit of the rebel general Kang Huai'en.On the other side, Qiao Tai accidentally discovered Kang Zhiyi's case documents that Ma Rong brought back from the case documents library, and hurriedly handed them over to Di Renjie, and accidentally discovered that Kang Huaien was Kang Zhiyi's father.

Di Renjie suddenly realized that he immediately found Wei Wuji and reported to him the progress of the investigation. He believed that the cases in the suburban silkworm shed and Jushui Building were related to Kang Zhiyi.When the Xuanjia Army went on an expedition to the Tuo Khanate, Kang Huai'en rebelled and defected to the Xue Yantuo tribe. This was supposed to be a major crime that implicated the nine tribes, but Changsun Qing came forward as a guarantee. It was not until the death of the late emperor that Kang Zhiyi was able to return to Chang'an and join the Jinwu Guard, and later becameThe queen's bodyguard.

Therefore, Di Renjie thought of the night when the Ju Shuilou incident occurred, when Chang Sunqing had a secret meeting with Kang Zhiyi in a private room in Pingkangfang.Combining various clues, he suspected that Kang Zhiyi had stolen the phoenix seal, forged an imperial edict, ordered the Yulin army and set fire to death Yaxin, the palace maid who held the seal.Wei Wuji's face became more solemn when he learned that Di Renjie was planning to report to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, requesting a joint trial by the three departments to rectify the queen's name.

Wei Wuji pointed out that Di Renjie only relied on speculation and it was difficult to establish a case without conclusive evidence.What's more, Changsun Qing has joined forces with Sikong Xuyuan and Zuopushe Sun Zhining to write to the saint, so the abolition of the queen is probably inevitable.Although the Queen was protected by her ministers, Changsun Qing held a high and powerful position. As the leader of the noble forces of the Tang Dynasty, most of the anti-military faction obeyed his orders. He was like a big tree, covering the entire city of Chang'an, and everyoneIt's hard to shake.

Although Di Renjie believes that if Changsun Qing threatens the officials of the government and the public, he can also endanger the authority of the saint, and his great achievements will inevitably be counterattacked, but he is not yet sure of overthrowing the opponent, and may even implicate Ma Rong and Qiao Tai.Di Renjie stood in a pavilion and was deep in thought. He suddenly heard a Bingzhou tune and recalled the scene where his grandfather jumped into the river and died. He realized that the government affairs were far more complicated than imagined.

As a result, Di Renjie went to drink and talk with his brother and sister. His words were full of confusion and made some inexplicable words.Hong Liang took the wine bottle and blamed Di Renjie for being half way through the promise period. There was no evidence yet, but he didn't think about how to deal with it.Di Renjie did not respond, but persuaded Ma Rong and Qiao Tai to leave Chang'an.Ma Rong suspected that Di Renjie was in big trouble and thought it might be a good idea to leave Chang'an and observe secretly.On the other hand, Hong Liang saw that Di Renjie was confused and encouraged him to follow his heart to find the answer and give it a try.

In a blink of an eye, the sixth day came. In order to fight against the queen, Sun Qing worshiped the national cypress and held the national cypress in a procession to plead guilty. He claimed that the queen had caused the wrath of heaven and harmed the people. He decided to personally offer 30,000 incense sticks to the peace and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.His words and actions won the hearts of the people.Di Renjie suddenly appeared and predicted that the sky fire would come at least five times. The first three times had burned down the parasol trees, the troupe and the silkworm farmers, and the next time it would burn the surname record because it was the queen's biggest political move in recent years. If the sky fire came, it would be a natural disaster., if the fire from heaven does not come, it will be a man-made disaster.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.Di Renjie glanced at Changsun Qing and Kang Zhiyi on the second floor, and left meaningfully.Obviously, Di Renjie was risking his life and fortune by doing this, aiming to anger Changsun Qing and Kang Zhiyi and force them to surrender.Wei Wuji acquiesced to Di Renjie's approach and decided to stay and watch “天火”. If he could see the true face of the person who controls destiny, he would have no regrets in this life.However, when Di Renjie and others acted as planned, the horse suddenly lost control and the stirrups were tampered with, making it difficult for him to break free.
