Xia Sheng never expected that in just one day, the Ye family had already investigated their details clearly. Fortunately, Wang Er and the others did not know the relationship between him and the Judgment Office for the time being.

That was originally what Xia Sheng was most wary of.

But not now.

Because Ning Zheng also brought him great news.

"Time is too tight. I only found 60% of what the sir told me, but I have confirmed the news about Pingnan Hou and the Judgment Office."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

It has to be said that Xia Sheng's vision of knowing people is still very vicious. Even before that, Ning Zheng was just an aide to the mayor of the Little White Horse Town, Xia Sheng insisted on bringing Ning Zheng to Luoyang and keeping him by his side, believing that Ning Zheng would definitely become an extremely outstanding strategist.

Now, Ning Zheng has also proved this with his own practical actions.

During dinner, Xia Sheng left the Weining Marquis Mansion and followed Bi Qingwen to Yanyu Tower. At the same time, Ning Zheng was not idle, but walked to Luoyang City to help Xia Sheng find out the news.

As for what methods he used, Xia Sheng didn't care. He just wanted to know where Ning Zheng had done things.

Collecting intelligence is the first step to becoming a good strategist.

Then, it is to analyze information, make suggestions, and plan.

Ning Zheng did a very good job at least in this first step, because even Xia Sheng was surprised by what he said next.

"As far as I know, Cao Jing from the Judgment Office had already returned to Beijing five days ago, but he came back alone, and there was no sign of Pingnan Hou by his side."

"What is even more puzzling is that shortly after Cao Jing set foot in Luoyang City, Qin Nian ordered people to arrest him in the black prison. Since then, no one has seen Cao Jing again. At the same time, all the elite troops of the Judgment Department came out and left Luoyang, not knowing where to go."

I have to say that the development of things was indeed beyond Xia Sheng's expectations, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be reasonable.

He pondered for a moment and asked Ning Zheng: "What do you think about this?"

Ning Zheng nodded: "If I speculate well, it should be on the way back to Beijing that Marquis of Pingnan broke away from Cao Jing's control and fled back to Xiling by himself. Qin's head master, who learned about this, was furious, so he put Cao Jing in prison in anger."

Xia Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "With the fearless nature of Pingnan Hou, it is really possible to do it."

Ning Zheng also said: "Yes, if you compete for strength, a thousand Pingnan Housings are not Cao Jing's opponents, but if you use your brain... I think, this time, Cao Jing may have been cheated by Pingnan Hou!"

Xia Sheng then added: "Of course, the reason for Qin Nian's anger may not be just because of this. After all, Huaian and Cheng Liran also died halfway through, which is a huge bad news for the Judgment Office."

Ning Zheng smiled calmly: "Therefore, the ruling department will be fully equipped. It is obvious that it is not to capture the Marquis of Pingnan, but to pursue the evil deeds who killed Huaian and avenge the flag!"

With one word and another, the two of them had already figured out the whole matter clearly. Although Xia Sheng felt quite sorry for Brother Jing's imprisonment, because at the last moment, Brother Jing was the only person who was loyal to the Judgment Office and Huaian, but at this point, he could not take risks and put himself in the quagmire of the attack storm.

No matter what, just from the result of this matter, it is beneficial to Xia Sheng.

Because the only two witnesses left that day, one fled back to Xiling, and the other was brought to the black prison by Qin Nian.

The most important thing is that the person who was detained was Brother Jing.

Brother Jing, who is not very smart and doesn't want to think about things.

Xia Sheng could even imagine that even in the face of the torture of the Judgment Office, Brother Jing would insist that the murderer who killed Huaian, Cheng Liran and others that day was the Kui Mu who could control the group of wolves!

And you will not doubt Xia Sheng at all.

In this way, the thing that Xia Sheng was most worried about after coming to Luoyang did not happen, and the ruling department did not issue an arrest warrant against him, so he would have enough time to do other things next.

Ning Zheng's voice continued.

"In addition, the gentleman asked me to ask where there are live springs near the capital, and there were also results. As the gentleman said, there were indeed several famous springs in the outskirts of Luoyang, but after the Chengtian Gate Change, these live springs were manually filled out. Now, within a radius of 100 miles of Luoyang City, there are only two springs left."

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng couldn't help but frown and then asked, "Which two?"

"One is located in Luoyang City and is also one of the famous attractions in the capital. It is called Yuehuaquan, which is located near the Bingmasi in the north of the city."

"Where is the other one?"

"In the back mountain of Chunqiu Academy."

Xia Sheng's heart sank, but he didn't show too much emotion on his face. He just nodded: "I understand, I'm doing a good job."

Ning Zheng turned his head, took out a stack of books from behind, respectfully handed them to Xia Sheng's hand, and said, "This is the history book that the teacher asked me to find. It has been here from the Taizu period to the early years of Yongheli."

Xia Sheng nodded and praised, "You really reassure me of your work. Okay, let's go here today. See you are tired too, so take a break earlier. Don't worry about the rest. If you can't find out, it doesn't matter."

After saying that, Xia Sheng looked at the dark room in front of him and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, where is Meng Qi?"

Ning Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't see her when I came back. Maybe she had already fallen asleep."

"Well..." Xia Sheng didn't care too much and said to Ning Zheng: "You go back to the house too, thank you for your hard work today."

Ning Zheng nodded slightly, held his hand and said goodbye to Xia Sheng. Xia Sheng also walked back to the room with a stack of historical records, lit an oil lamp, and sighed softly: "Okay, let me see what happened in the past five hundred years..."

...

Time passed silently, and only the rustling sound of the pages of the book were heard. The atmosphere in the house gradually became solemn, and the air was filled with a chill of sadness or indignation, which made people feel sad.

Xia Sheng went back alone in the long river of history, but he did not feel magnificent at all. Instead, he only saw the bones at the bottom of the river and heard the whine of hundreds of thousands of unjust souls.

It has been five hundred years since the death of the Dajin Dynasty in his last life. In these five hundred years, with the rise and fall of the entire dynasty, it has been through five generations of monarchs.

Emperor Taizu died 100 years after ascending the throne, and Emperor Taizong of Jin, Zhao Hong succeeded to the throne. Unfortunately, he was a short-lived ghost. He only ruled the country for twenty years before he died. Next was Emperor Xingzong Zhao Mingyu, who reigned for 130 years. Next was Emperor Gaozong of Jin, Zhao Heng, who had been in power for more than 250 years. At this time, the Dajin Dynasty had been established for more than 250 years.

Emperor Gaozong of Jin, Zhao Hengshi, was a powerful lord of a generation. During his reign of more than 50 years, he created a prosperous era of great martial arts. The world of humanity was in good weather. He also led many imperial expeditions to the south to recover the thirteen counties in southern Xinjiang and established a "grass-cutting defense line" to the north, including the four major passes of Jianmen Pass, Yumen Pass, Changyan Pass and Ningwu Pass.

But it is a pity that Emperor Gaozong of Jin was also the only emperor in the five hundred years of history of the Dajin Dynasty who failed to die well.

Legend has it that he died of wind and cold during the fifth Northern Expedition.

After the death of Emperor Gaozong of Jin, Crown Prince Zhao Xi succeeded to the throne, which is the current Emperor Jinren. He became the longest-reigning emperor in the history of the Great Jin Dynasty, and has been in charge of the National Seal for nearly two hundred years.

But during the reign of Emperor Jinren, something shocking happened.

That was 128 years ago, the year before the early years of the Yonghe Li calendar, and the most bizarre and famous case of rebellion in history was born in Luoyang City.

History says that the change of Chengtian Gate.
