Chapter 15 Agreed Disposal
Seeing Shen Youzhi mentioning the date's appointment, Di Renjie also nodded solemnly.

He knew that Shen Youzhi was talking about Ying Wang Yuanqi colluding with Yangzhou officials and embezzling the salary of water workers.

At that time, Shen Youzhi stopped the imperial guard on his own, just to expose the matter to him.

He also promised Shen Youzhi that he would investigate this matter thoroughly.

It's just that the mission case was imminent at that time, and he couldn't escape, so he could only make an agreement with Shen Youzhi to solve the mission case first, and then investigate the Yangzhou case.

Because the mission case is related to the diplomatic relations between Wu Zhou and Turkic countries, and the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians at the border, it must be placed first.

As for the matter of Ying Wang Yuanqi and Yangzhou officials, it was Wu Zhou's internal affairs, and it was not as difficult to handle as the mission case.

Now that the mission case has been solved with the great assistance of Shen Youzhi, it is naturally time for Di Renjie to fulfill the agreement.

"Don't worry." Di Renjie looked at Shen Youzhi, and said solemnly: "The Yangzhou case is related to the food and clothing of tens of thousands of water workers, and to the court's water transportation. Even if you don't tell me, I will definitely investigate to the end!"

Shen Youzhi nodded when he heard the words, he believed that Di Renjie would fulfill the agreement.

Because what Di Renjie hated most in his life were corrupt officials who oppressed the people.

"Since that's the case, I will thank Di Gong for the tens of thousands of water workers in Yangzhou!"

As Shen Youzhi said, he bowed to thank him.

Seeing this, Di Renjie quickly helped him up, and hurriedly said: "Why should you be so worried? This is the duty of an official!
It's you who traveled thousands of miles for the people of Yangzhou, even at the expense of intercepting the imperial guards, defying power, and exposing the evil deeds of those corrupt officials.

I really admire it! "

In the past, Di Renjie was a little jealous of Shen You because of his mysterious identity, but now there is only endless admiration left.

He couldn't help but think of the chivalrous song that Shen Youzhi recited at the beginning——

Three cups of turmoil, the five mountains are light!
He can travel thousands of miles for the poor people, and he will not hesitate to intercept the imperial guards for a promise.

What Shen Youzhi did really deserves the word "Xia"!

"Yes!" Li Yuanfang on the side also said: "Brother Shen's chivalrous heart really makes me admire him very much!"

"Brother Yuanfang, you are overwhelmed." Shen Youzhi said modestly, "In order to wash away your grievances, you have been able to fight in several states. After going through hundreds of battles, isn't it a heroic act?"

"Haha, okay, okay!" Seeing this, Di Renjie joked, "I think we should stop flattering each other here, so as not to make people laugh."

Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang also looked at each other and smiled when they heard the words.

Since then, the three of them can be considered to have established a basic friendship.

Afterwards, Di Renjie brought Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang to the main hall of the government office, and began to discuss the final outcome of the Youzhou case.

"My lord, now that Jin Mulan has been arrested, what are you going to do?" Li Yuanfang asked, "Do you want to send her to the capital of God and hand it over to the emperor?"

He was born in the military, and he didn't know much about the open and secret struggle between the Wu Zhou faction and the Li Tang faction in the court, so he asked such a naive question.

After hearing this, Di Renjie could only explain earnestly: "If she is handed over to the emperor, her father and brother and a large number of princes surnamed Li will be implicated, and even the crown prince may be implicated.

The emperor is worried that he has no chance to get rid of them! "

Li Yuanfang suddenly realized, nodded and said: "Your Excellency, for the heir of the Li surname, you really worked hard!"

Duke Di sighed again, shook his head slowly, and said, "Not only that.

Although the bandit leader Jin Mulan was arrested, her subordinates are still free.

These people may make trouble at any time, and we must be careful not to be careful. "

In fact, what he wanted to say was that Hu Jinghui might risk his life to rescue him, but he held back in the end.

"Di Gong, have you sent someone to the ghost town?" Shen Youzhi asked suddenly.

Di Renjie obviously knew what he said, and the men in black in Jin Mulan's lair had already evacuated.

"That's right." Di Renjie nodded, and said, "Since you captured Jin Mulan, I sent Youzhou to join the army and led a raid on the ghost town.

It's a pity that the place has long been empty, except for some imprisoned villagers, there is no one else at all. "

"Their actions are really fast!" Shen Youzhi heard the words and said, "They evacuated so simply and neatly!"

Speaking of this, Shen Youzhi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Di Gong, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Hey, but it's okay to talk!" Di Renjie waved his hand.

Seeing this, Shen Youzhi continued: "As the nobleman of the royal family, Princess Yiyang is subject to many restrictions on her behavior. It is absolutely impossible for her to organize such a large team of rebels."

Di Renjie nodded, expressing his affirmation, and said, "That's right, what you said is exactly what I think."

This doubt has been lingering in Di Renjie's heart ever since he learned that the female bandit leader Jin Mulan is the princess of Yiyang.

"That's right!" Li Yuanfang also suddenly said: "This is really a suspicious point!"

Shen Youzhi went on to say: "That's why I judge that the mysterious organization that helped Princess Yiyang cultivate rebel forces is the Snake Spirit!"

Di Renjie nodded again, expressing his approval of Shen Youzhi's conjecture.

In fact, as early as when he asked Hu Jinghui about the clues about the snake spirit, he had already guessed from the other party's reaction that he was a member of the snake spirit.

Then, as the superior of Viper, Jin Mulan is naturally very likely to be involved with the snake spirit.

"That's a good word." Li Yuanfang said, "But what does this represent?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Youzhi explained to Li Yuanfang: "This means that Princess Yiyang has mastered the secret of the snake spirit, and the snake spirit will never allow her to reveal this secret!"

Li Yuanfang suddenly opened his eyes, and exclaimed: "Brother Shen, you mean, the snake spirit is likely to kill Jin Mulan to silence it?!"

Shen Youzhi nodded and said, "This is just my guess."

Although Hu Jinghui and Jin Mulan had an affair, Xiao Qingfang, as the head of the snake spirit, would never allow Jin Mulan to divulge any secrets about the snake spirit!

"You're right." After listening to Shen Youzhi's speculation, Di Renjie also said: "Although we don't know much about the snake spirit yet, since it can hide so deeply, it shows how terrifying its ability to keep secrets is.

Such a mysterious organization would never allow Jin Mulan to disclose their whereabouts. "

"Not only that." Shen Youzhi said again: "Since Jin Mulan has many snake spirits under his command, then the snake spirit should already know everything at this moment, and it is estimated that it will take action soon!"

"My lord!" Li Yuanfang immediately looked at Di Renjie and asked, "What should we do?"

Di Renjie knew what he was worried about, waved his hand, and said: "We are in the open, but the enemy is in the dark.

Now we know too little about them, and we can only respond to changes with the same. "

Li Yuanfang could only nod helplessly.

Indeed, we know so little about snake spirits that we don't even know how to deal with them.

In fact, Di Renjie is more concerned about Hu Jinghui than the snake spirit.

He was afraid that Hu Jinghui would make the same mistakes again in order to save Li Qingxia.

And Di Renjie's worry was soon verified.

That same night, Viper Hu Jinghui once again ventured into the governor's office!
