The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 55
"Why are you still standing there! Hurry up and tie him up!"

Shen Youzhi yelled like thunder from the sky, and instantly brought Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai, who were out of their wits, back to reality—

The headless ghost was knocked down!

The headless ghost was subdued by King An!
Do not!
wrong!

How could a ghost be knocked down by someone?
The two thought like lightning, and instantly thought: It's not a ghost!It's people!It's a fake!
Seeing that the person who came was not a ghost, Li Yuanfang turned around again bravely, and instantly stepped forward to control the mute who was pretending to be a headless ghost.

"Hey! Who are you?"

Li Yuanfang just made a fool of himself in front of the crowd, but was frightened out of his wits by a pretending ghost, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "What's the intention of pretending to be a ghost!"

However, no matter how he questioned, this person just babbled, unable to utter a complete sentence at all.

"Yuanfang!" Di Renjie stopped Li Yuanfang and said, "He is a mute, and he can't answer your question at all."

Afterwards, he ordered his subordinate Qian Niuwei to take the mute down.

Then Di Renjie ordered Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang: "Zeng Tai, you immediately order the yamen servant to arrest Gao Rujin and bring him to the county yamen for questioning.

Yuan Fang, you immediately notify He Yun of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to come to the county government office! "

One arrest, one notification, it can be seen that Di Renjie's attitude towards the two suspects is different.

As soon as the theory of ghosts and gods was broken, the mist covering the surface of the case dissipated, and Di Renjie grasped the crux of the case in an instant.

From the beginning to the end, it was Gao Rujin and He Yun who dragged the case into the fog of ghosts and gods!

These two people tried their best to make them believe that this case was done by Yuwen Chengdu's ghosts, so as to cover up their ulterior motives!

Thinking of this, Di Renjie admired Shen Youzhi even more in his heart: great wisdom and courage, he can be a great responsibility!

This was Di Renjie's evaluation of Wang An in front of him.

Dazhi, who can grasp the crux of the case just by his words; Dayong, who is brave enough to take the lead in the face of the headless ghost that everyone fears!

Such King An really has the legacy of Taizong!
In all fairness, Di Renjie really wanted to see if King An could be up to the important task of the world!

Unfortunately, he can only think about all this.

Now that Li Tang is in decline, it is not easy to keep Li Xian's crown prince, and other things are even more impossible.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Di Renjie saluted Shen Youzhi respectfully.

He said the word "thank you" from the bottom of his heart.

When the case first started, he only begged King An not to hold back.

Unexpectedly, when things came to an end, it was King An who he had never expected to turn the tide.

"If His Highness hadn't tried his best to turn the tide, I'm afraid we would still be kept in the dark by the theory of ghosts and gods!" Zeng Tai also said at the right time: "Just now, except for His Highness and benefactor, we were all frightened to pieces. Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous! "

What he said was not only a flattery, but also a heartfelt admiration.

At least just now, he and Yuan Fang were really scared out of their wits by the sudden "headless ghost"!

Shen Youzhi heard the words and said with a smile: "This king is not much smarter than you, but I firmly believe in one thing: there are no ghosts and gods in the world.

If there were ghosts and gods in this world, the evildoers would have been killed by ghosts long ago, so why would there be so many grievances? "

Although Di Renjie didn't believe in ghosts and gods, his belief was not very firm, so as the case progressed, especially when he saw the headless ghost with his own eyes, he couldn't help being a little shaken.

This is also understandable, after all, it is the limitation of history.

But Shen Youzhi already knew everything, so naturally he had nothing to fear.

The headless ghost was caught on the spot, and the theory of ghosts and gods was self-defeating. Di Renjie soon learned everything behind it from the most suspected Gao Rujin——

First of all, Gao Rujin's real name is not Gao Rujin, he is Jiang Xiaolang who beheaded Yuwen Chengdu back then!

Because he led his troops to leave the army privately, in order to avoid being pursued by the court, he bribed the county magistrate and changed his name to Gao Rujin.

As for the tragedy of the Jiang family a few decades ago, it was also planned by him alone: ​​during the Zhenguan period, the imperial court found the Jiang family in order to track down Jiang Xiaolang's whereabouts.

Fearing that the matter would be exposed, Jiang Xiaolang killed the sergeants who came to investigate, and cut off their heads and left arms to conceal the identities of the dead sergeants.

In order to prevent future troubles forever, he made up his mind to set fire to the entire Jiang family on the post, and burned all his former subordinates to death!

After that, he found a wandering Taoist priest named "Xu Guzi" and asked him to spread rumors that it was Yuwen Chengdu's fierce ghost who came to claim his life, so as to cover up his evil deeds!

So far, the origin of Yuwen Chengdu Ligui is completely clear.

However, there is still a problem that has not been resolved, and that is the identity of the deceased on the official path!

The answer to this question lies with He Yun of the Yumajian.

The headless ghost is his subordinate, since he instructed the headless ghost to kill the dead on the official road, he must know the identity of the other party!

However, what surprised Di Renjie was that even though the conspiracy was revealed, He Yun still didn't say a word, and bluntly said that if he did, he would die a miserable death.

Di Renjie didn't understand, what method could be more frightening than the method of the emperor's internal guards?
"He Yun." Seeing that He Yun would rather die than surrender, Shen Youzhi immediately said, "Do you think you can live without talking?

Now that the matter has been exposed, will the mastermind behind the scenes let you off this hidden danger? "

He Yun's face changed when he heard the words, but he still didn't say a word.

"You bastard, you don't want to drink a toast!" Li Yuanfang said angrily, "I think you want to suffer!"

He was full of anger, seeing He Yun being so stubborn, how could he have a good tone?
"It's not that he didn't want to say it, but he didn't dare to say it!" Di Renjie shook his head and sighed.

Afterwards, he ordered someone to put He Yun in the county government prison.

In fact, Di Renjie has already guessed the identity of the person behind the scenes——

Who else could make He Yun so terrified that he didn't even dare to reveal the slightest bit of death, except for those royal nobles?

Apart from King An and Li Xuan who helped him solve the case, there was only one royal noble who participated in this incident—Princess Taiping!
It was she who recommended Wang Zhiyuan, the national teacher, to the emperor.

On the surface, this is to solve the confusion for the emperor, but in fact, it has secretly affirmed the theory of ghosts and gods.

Because only ghosts and gods are real, it is necessary to exorcise ghosts.

Otherwise, why would you need a mage?

This method of "preconditions" is actually very common in later generations, that is, to give some pre-designed topics and then let others discuss them. No matter what the outcome of the discussions is, it is beneficial to the person who set the topics.

Because the discussants inadvertently affirmed the correctness of the topic.

That's why Shen Youzhi often said "Ask if it's right first, then ask if it's right".

As long as one thing is clarified now, Di Renjie's conjecture can be confirmed, that is-whether Wang Zhiyuan has any relationship with Xu Guzi who spread the theory of "a ghost takes his life" decades ago.

Just judging from the two people's methods of setting up doubts, they should come from the same school!
