Western Region Accent
Chang 'an County.
After a simple trial, Zhang Shenzhi confessed the only three clues he knew:
It was a man's voice.
He sounded very young.
Her hands were very white.
After hearing these three clues, a figure subconsciously appeared in Gu Hao's mind.
Zhangsun Chong.
He had met Zhangsun Chong last night.
Although she was not as good-looking as him, her skin was indeed quite fair.
Zhangsun Chong was not old, and his voice sounded very young.
Obviously, the gender of Zhangsun Chong, who almost became Princess Changle's son-in-law, would not be wrong.
It seemed that he had locked onto his target.
However, there were too many people who met these three conditions.
Even Gu Hao himself fit the bill.
"It's not easy."
Gu Hao frowned.
Zhang Shenzhi had given too little useful information.
In the afternoon, a person came to the Chang 'an County government office, surprising Gu Hao."
Zhangsun Wuji.
"What brings you here, Uncle?”
The county magistrate of Chang 'an County, Pang Xiangshou, immediately came out to welcome Zhangsun Wuji and his group. He smiled and seemed to be flattering them.
"It involves an item bestowed by the emperor. His Majesty places great importance on it and specially sent me to personally investigate this case.”
Zhangsun Wuji said indifferently and directly led his men to occupy the county court.
First, he asked Gu Hao, who had been robbed, and then Zhang Shenzhi.
When Zhangsun Wuji got the three clues from Zhang Shenzhi, his eyelids twitched.
"If you were to hear that person's voice again, would you be able to recognize him?”Zhangsun Wuji looked at Zhang Shenzhi who was kneeling in the court and asked in a deep voice.
"…I should be able to." Zhang Shenzhi said uncertainly.
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Gu Hao and asked,""Do you have any suspects?"
Gu Hao's expression froze.
He really wanted to say that the first suspect was your son, Zhangsun Chong.
"Without evidence, I can't be suspicious.”
Gu Hao shook his head.
"The questions you came up with last night caused several new scholars to be expelled. Do you think it's possible that it's them?”Zhangsun Wuji asked.
"…Maybe."
Gu Hao said after a moment of silence.
He had indeed suspected those people.
"Presumably, in your heart, my son is also a suspect.”Zhangsun Wuji said.
Gu Hao was silent.
The biggest suspect in his heart was indeed Zhangsun Wuji's son, Zhangsun Chong.
"Later, let them stand behind this person and speak separately.”Zhangsun Wuji said lightly," If it's really my son, I won't tolerate it.”
"Sir is wise."
Gu Hao complimented.
He muttered in his heart.
Since Zhangsun Wuji dared to do this, he must be very sure that his son was fine.
"I don't seem to have offended anyone recently.”
Gu Hao pondered.
She was wondering if she had offended someone unintentionally.
Soon, more than ten young people stood behind Zhang Shenzhi in the court.
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Zhang Shenzhi and asked,""What do you want them to say?"
"I'm looking for you because I want you to do something for me. It's worth 10,000 taels." Zhang Shenzhi's eyes flickered.”
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Zhangsun Chong's group of youths and instructed,""Say that sentence one by one.”
"I'm looking for you because I want you to do something for me. It's worth 10,000 taels.”
"I'm looking for you because I want you to do something for me. It's worth 10,000 taels.”
"I'm looking for you because I want you to do something for me. It's worth 10,000 taels.”
“………”
Over ten people, including Zhangsun Chong, spoke up one after another.
"I don't think so."
Zhang Shenzhi said hesitantly.
It suddenly occurred to him that the man seemed to have a foreign accent when he smiled.
"Are you sure?" Zhangsun Wuji asked.
Zhang Shenzhi thought for a moment and nodded." I'm sure. Now that I think about it, that person shouldn't be from Chang 'an. He seems to have a…Western Region accent."”
"A Western Region accent?"
Gu Hao frowned.
Why was it related to the Western Regions?
Zhangsun Wuji's eyes flashed with understanding.
The accent of the Western Regions…then it matched.
After that, Zhangsun Chong and the others left, and Zhang Shenzhi was once again escorted to the county jail.
"Regarding this case…what else does the Top Scholar Gu have to say?”Zhangsun Wuji looked at Gu Hao.
"I hope Lord Zhangsun can solve the case quickly and return the property that originally belonged to me as soon as possible," Gu Hao said.”
He had just learned:
All the assets that Zhang Shenzhi had stolen had become stolen money.
The county government would only return the property after the case was closed.
Naturally, Zhang Shenzhi had already confessed. If it had not involved the crystal cup, the case would have ended today.
"His Majesty just gave you the crystal cup this morning, and you lost it this morning. Don't you think you should take some responsibility?”Zhangsun Wuji said indifferently.
Gu Hao's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said,""When I found out that the crystal cup was stolen, I reported it to the authorities immediately. I quickly locked down the suspect and arrested the thief, Zhang Shenzhi, immediately.
His Excellency had seen it just now. Someone had given Zhang Shenzhi ten thousand taels of silver and hired him to steal the crystal cup.
Shouldn't His Excellency go arrest the person who hired Zhang Shenzhi at this time?”
"If you knew what this crystal cup means, perhaps you wouldn't say that." Zhangsun Wuji said.”
"What does the crystal cup mean?"
Gu Hao frowned.
Rare? Fragile? Invisible?
What else?
Gu Hao was puzzled.
Zhangsun Wuji shook his head.
Now was indeed not the time to hold Gu Hao accountable.
The most important thing now was to find the crystal cup.
"You're so smart, do you have a way to find the crystal cup?”Zhangsun Wuji asked.
Although he was asking, he didn't have much hope.
The situation was clear.
Stealing the crystal cup was one of the schemes of the Turks to prevent the tribes of the Western Regions from surrendering to the Tang Empire.
For a crystal cup to become so important, the Turks must have been behind it.
Under such circumstances, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to retrieve the crystal cup.
"You might not be able to find it, but I can make…I can make many for you.”Gu Hao cursed in his heart, but he shook his head and said," There are too few clues. It's very difficult to find.”
“………”
