A League of Nobleman 君子盟 Episode 13

Zhang Ping believed that if the thieves used Kongming lanterns to commit crimes, because of the south wind, the lanterns would fly north that night, and Yunxiao Mountain was just north of Miyagi, so he speculated that the thieves should take back the Kongming lanterns on Yunxiao Mountain, where there should be traces, and the scaffolding Huge in size and noticeable in burning, thieves must be buried on the spot. Wang Yan arranged for his subordinates to search for traces of scaffolding in Yunxiao Mountain.

After some searching, they found the scaffolding at the back of Yunxiao Mountain. The Qianqiu instrument itself is a precise timing device. Lan Jue guessed that the thief connected the fire folding cap to the gear mechanism of the Qianqiu instrument with cotton thread, so that it can be opened at regular intervals. After lighting the raw tung oil, the phoenix head should be hung on a hook, and the south wind that night should be used to transport the phoenix head to Yunxiao Mountain. Finally, the thieves used a crossbow to shoot out claws on Yunxiao Mountain to recover the Kongming Lantern and take away the phoenix head.

Lan Jue saw that the craftsmanship of the wooden pulley frame at the site was superb, and the construction site of Qianqiuyi was heavily guarded. Those who could enter and exit freely and had time to cover up their tricks must be the craftsmen on the site. Zhang Ping believes that every square in the city has guards for inspection. If a thief brings a phoenix head as tall as a person into the city, it will be easily exposed. He speculates that the thief hid the phoenix head on Yunxiao Mountain. Wang Yan arranged for his subordinates to lead people to look for the phoenix head. . The few of them went back to the construction site to ask Master Wang for the list of craftsmen at Qianqiuyi's construction site. Master Wang saw the wooden pulley and speculated that this level of craftsmanship was only achieved by Chang Wei among the craftsmen. Knowing that this person has taken leave, Lan Jue and others hurried to Chang Wei's house. But at this time, there was no one in Chang Wei's house, and Zhang Ping and Wang Yan found the Kongming lantern again in the forest along the trail of dragging.

Zhang Ping and Wang Yan found Chang Wei in the forest. Chang Wei said that his mother was seriously ill a month ago and he urgently needed money to treat her. At this time, someone found him and gave him a hundred taels of silver, instructing him to steal the phoenix head, but in the end he was cheated. When his mother learned that he vomited blood and died after stealing the phoenix head, he regretted it. At this time, he sprinkled his mother's ashes into the sky with a Kongming lantern, while he died of taking poison.

At this time, Wang Yan's subordinates reported that the phoenix head had been found. Although the real culprit was not found out, Zhang Ping thought that finding the phoenix head would allow him to do business for the time being. Fu. Wang Yan did not find any clues about the instigator behind the scenes in Chang Wei's house. He wanted Lan Jue to write a statement instead of Chang Wei and attribute the buyer to Taifu Liu. Seeing that Lan Jue was unwilling to frame Taifu Liu, Wang Yan planned to write the statement himself, but Zhang Ping came to stop him. Zhang Ping said that he insisted on investigating the case, and he was willing to do his best to find the mastermind behind it.

Wang Yan anxiously wanted to teach Zhang Ping a lesson, accusing him of not only Zhang Ping himself, but also Lan Jue who was going to die now. The Empress Dowager originally wanted to inflict the crime on Taifu Liu, but Lan Jue paid for his wealth and life in exchange for two days. If the matter cannot be fulfilled as the Empress Dowager wished, Lan Jue must pay for it with her life. Zhang Ping was very guilty because his actions had caused Lan Jue.

That night, Lan Jue and Zhang Ping were taken away by the Queen Mother. The next day, Lan Jue was sentenced to be beheaded in the execution ground at noon for conniving with his disciple Zhang Ping to spread rumors. Because of this, he was instigated by his mentor Liu Taifu behind his back. Although Taifu Liu denied it above the court, the ministers who supported the Queen Mother spoke out to correct his various actions of slandering the Queen Mother.

Director Xing, Zhang Ping wanted to apologize to Lan Jue, but also said that he would still investigate the case again, but would not involve Lan Jue. Lan Jue said that Zhang Ping was able to stick to his heart so that he would sacrifice his life to protect him. If it is wrong to pursue the truth, then it is the world that is wrong. The two drank together in prison and were then taken to the execution ground. The Empress Dowager wanted to kill Taifu Liu. At this time, the Holy Majesty came to the court and said that he went hunting today and found a huge auspicious auspicious object guarded by all the beasts in the forest. This object is the head of a phoenix. The Holy One said that the recent folk rumors are pure nonsense, and the phoenix head was not stolen, but because it was originally a spiritual object that received the essence of the sun and moon, so it flew away by itself. The Holy Majesty believed that Taifu Liu was wronged, and begged the Queen Mother to put the phoenix head on the top of the Qianqiu instrument again, so that the Queen Mother's grace would protect the people and benefit the common people.

In such a situation, the queen mother had to release the guilty minister. The Holy One said that Liu Taifu's wrongdoing needs to be tried carefully. After finding out the person behind the instigation, he will be beheaded together with Chen Zuoxiao. Zhang Ping and Lan Jue were acquitted. On the way back home, Lan Jue said that only the Holy Majesty could break the game, so before the night of his arrest, he discussed with Wang Yan in private and asked him to secretly deliver the letter he had written in advance to the Holy Majesty. Wang Yan anonymously handed over the letters of Fenghuangtou and Lan Jue to the Holy Majesty, and only then did the Holy Majesty take action to break the situation. After this incident, the Holy One will have to face the empress dowager's struggle for power in the future.

At the time of parting, Zhang Ping said that after the explosion of the Kongming lantern released by Chang Wei that night, the sky was as bright as day for a moment. He thought of the legend that the sky was as bright as day and the whole village was shrouded in blood mist in Moluo Village. It is also the blood mist enveloped by the explosion of giant Kongming lanterns. At this moment, Wang Yan came to tell Lan Jue about his new discovery. He discovered that he had a correspondence with Xuanji at Chang Wei's home. The two had corresponded twenty years ago. The departure time of Shangchang Wei coincided with the time when Lan Jue's father left home. Wang Yan believed that Father Lan's case was related to the murder in Moluo Village, and asked Lan Jue to ask about Xuanji as soon as possible. But when Lan Jue and Zhang Ping came to Xuanji's mansion, they found that Xuanji had died of sudden heart palpitations, and the clues were interrupted again. Under Lan Jue's order, Xudong visited Xuanji Mansion unannounced and found that Xuanji had indeed died of palpitations. He secretly took the dregs of Xuanji's palpitation medicine, but after some investigation, he found that the medicine was indeed the medicine for palpitations.

Because the clues were interrupted, Lan Jue's stomach disease recurred, but she also said that even if Xuanji died, she would continue to investigate the case.
