Mei Niang, I'm a fake eunuch, you still let me sleep

Chapter 341 Taiyuan
There were sounds from Xingyi Square, the sound of weapons colliding, and eager footsteps, and the candles in each house were lit.

The two strange men who had become blood men looked into Xingyi Square, then swept up the wall of the square and stepped into it.

After a breath, there were continuous screams and the sound of gold and iron colliding.

A gong was struck, violently and urgently, and there was a shrill cry:
"Protect the king!"

Half a quarter of an hour later, everything slowly returned to tranquility, only the bright moon in the sky witnessed the scene just now.

At the beginning of the hour.

Dali Temple.

"Master Di, Lord Di."

The clerk kept shouting, shuttled around the Dali Temple, and finally found Di Renjie, who was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly under the cover of the documents in a corner of the document library.

Di Renjie sat up slowly, and the documents slipped from his body one after another. His eyes were sleepy, and his expression was slightly confused:

"what happened?"

The clerk greeted with crossed hands, anxiously said: "Master Di, something happened in Xingyifang!"

Di Renjie patted his cheek, yawned, and said calmly:

"Burn on fire?"

Big and small things happen in Chang'an every day, and he is not surprised that there are accidents in the market, and there are county officials and bad people from Chang'an County and Wannian County, so it is not up to Dali Temple to take care of this matter.

"No, the 13-member team of the city defense department that was patrolling during the curfew last night was killed outside Xingyifang, and more than a dozen servants were also killed in the prince's mansion."

The clerk was out of breath. He ran too fast just now and lost his breath.

"Did the murderer catch it?" Di Renjie slowly and neatly piled up the scattered documents.

The clerk took a breath:

"caught"

"I caught it." When Di Renjie heard that he caught it, he leaned his head against the pile of papers, yawned, put his hands on his chest, waved his hands, and closed his eyes:
"Remember to close the door. By the way, let them bring a cashmere blanket."

"Oh, Mr. Shaoqing, this matter is weird." The little official said dryly.

Di Renjie didn't open his eyes:
"Say it once."

"The murderers were two men who were caught by the guests of the palace.

The county captain of Wannian County rushed over last night, brought his assistants, and inspected them together with nearly [-] corpses.
But... the weird thing is that the corpses of the two murderers... have corpse spots."

Di Renjie suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the little official:

"you sure?"

"This is what the Zuo Zuo of Wannian County said, and there are so many people watching"

The clerk was a little uncertain about opening his mouth. He knew that although the man in front of him was informal on weekdays, he often cared about the exact details when dealing with cases and other matters.

"Let's go to Wannian County." Di Renjie stood up suddenly, grabbed a scroll beside him and stuffed it into his belt.

If it is true according to what Wu Zuo said, it means that the two murderers were dead long before they attacked the curfew patrol and the palace, but they revived again in a strange way to commit crimes.

A monster or a warlock, he narrowed his eyes and walked out in a hurry, followed closely by the clerks behind him.

First, I will go to Wannian County to inspect it myself. If I have any doubts, I can ask Brother Zhao for help.

Di Renjie's thoughts were racing, he stepped onto the horse and ran towards Wannian County Gong Xie.

In the east of Chang'an City, Wannian County Duke met.

Di Renjie got off his horse and hurried inside.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw 24 corpses on the ground, including patrolmen in armor and light clothes, and people from the palace in dark blue clothes.

The corpses were parked one by one, and the forensics were still being inspected. The county officials stood aside and kept writing, recording the appearance and origin of the deceased, etc., as well as the results of the forensic inspections, all of which were recorded.

When the people from the county yamen saw the visitor, they saluted one after another, and then they were busy with their affairs.

Di Renjie inspected the corpses one by one, and he was also very good at conducting inquests.

Half an hour later, all 24 corpses were seen, and Di Renjie found that most of these corpses were killed by one blow, which shows the murderer's boundless strength and superb martial arts skills.

But he always felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing, and soon he reacted suddenly, his beard trembled, and he shouted:

"Where's the murderer's body?"

"Master Di" the Wannian county lieutenant stepped forward with a look of embarrassment on his face:
"The murderer's body is still in the prince's mansion"

"Why is it still in Li Xiao's mansion?" Di Renjie was a little annoyed. It stands to reason that the corpse would either be brought back to the two counties of Chang'an, or it would appear in the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. There is no reason why it should still be in a prince's mansion.

Hearing Di Renjie call Xiaoyao Wang's name directly, the county lieutenant's eyelids twitched, and his complexion twisted together, very tangled.

The county lieutenant knew that Di Renjie had a good relationship with Zhao Wujiang and Taifu Zhao. He respected Zhao Wujiang very much, and at the same time he was unwilling to provoke this Di Renjie who was serious about the details.

He still remembered that Di Renjie, a stunned young man, was so fair and harsh in a major case involving the royal relatives in the early years of Changping that he repeatedly refuted King Xiaoyao's face. Xiaoyao Wang can't come to power.

The corpse is now in the palace, and it is impossible for Xiaoyao Wang to let Di Renjie, who is against him, go in to investigate.

The county lieutenant sighed, showing bitterness on his face, but decided to tell the truth:

"The lord said that the murderer killed in his mansion. He couldn't let us bring back the body. After today, he will crush the murderer's body to ashes to comfort the family members of the deceased mansion."

"I think he is the instigator behind the scenes. He directs and acts on his own, and the thief calls "stop the thief." Di Renjie snorted.

"Hey, Master Di, I don't want to talk nonsense." The county lieutenant hurriedly whispered in his ear, and the surrounding officials looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.

Di Renjie turned around and walked towards the county government official Xiewai: "Who cares about investigating this case?"

Although he spoke like this, his heart was itchy. He had always been particularly interested in treacherous cases, and he had an intuition that the incident in Xingyifang was related to the sky fire last night. If he could not find out what happened, he would It must have been bad for several days, and I felt uncomfortable all over.

He got on his horse, looked around, and snorted softly, I can't get in the palace by myself, brother Zhao can, right?Xiaoyin can always go in, right?I don't even think about who I am.

"drive."

He waved the reins and rode his horse towards the west of Chang'an City. Since the murderer's body was in the palace, he didn't need to go now. He would definitely be rejected. He decided to go to Zhao Wujiang first. For Zhao Wujiang's sake, Chang'an City can't go anywhere. ?

West of Chang'an City, Chang'an County, Chang'an Square, Zhao Mansion.

"What? Sister-in-law, Brother Zhao left Chang'an early in the morning?"

Hearing Wang Yanning and Wang Xi's answers, Di Renjie felt that the wind was very noisy today, and the sporadic snowflakes falling down from the sky were as big as fists, which hit him hard on his chest.

He leaned back on the chair and asked again: "Brother Zhao, did you say when he will come back?"

"It's not very far. He just went to Taiyuan. But he went in a hurry. I think there is something urgent. I can't say the exact return journey. Do you have any urgent matters?" Wang Yanning embraced Qiqi, and she became more and more charming after becoming a mother.

"Thank you sister-in-law, nothing important." Di Renjie crossed his hands and bid farewell. Normally, the incident in Xingyifang was not a big deal, but his intuition became stronger and he felt uneasy at the same time.

There were no major events in Changping for several years, mostly trivial matters, but since last night, everything seemed to have changed, just like a sudden cold night in the twelfth lunar month.
