Chapter 140 Night Meeting

Chapter 140 Night Meeting

Wu Garden is located in the backyard of Youzhou Dudu Mansion. This is an exquisitely designed garden, with a huge plaque reading "Youzhou Governor's Mansion" hanging in front of the door. The imperial guards have tightly guarded this place.

In the main hall, Di Chun, the officials dedicated to the imperial envoy and several Qianniu Guards officers were waiting for Di Renjie to enter the hall to discuss matters. A loud voice came from outside the door: "The imperial envoy has arrived!" Following the words, Judge Di, Hu Jinghui, and Li Yuanfang walked into the hall. All the officials in the hall knelt down: "See you, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"

Duke Di smiled and said: "Get up! You came at the right time and you have relieved my imperial envoy!" Everyone was stunned. Only Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and smiled.

Di Chun stepped forward and called: "Master", Di Gong happily patted his head: "You're just in time, I have an errand for you." After saying that, he said to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, take Di Chun with you. Armed with my Shangfang sword, I rushed to Sanhe County immediately and summoned the Sanhe County magistrate to arrive immediately."

Li Yuanfang bowed and said: "Yes!" Di Gong warned: "Remember, it must be kept secret!" Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "Please don't worry, sir." With that, the two of them followed the order and walked out of the hall quickly.

Besides, although Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi escaped temporarily, they were still in shock and went back to the Governor's Mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Fang Qian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said softly: "It's so mysterious, my clothes are soaked through."

Wu Yizhi said: "It's really strange. Why did Zhang Laosi talk back?"

Fang Qian shook his head: "Could it be that someone is helping us secretly..."

Wu Yizhi said: "Who could it be?"

Fang Qian said: "Maybe it's someone sent from above. Well, we can't control that much now. Di Renjie caught us off guard! It seems that he has already thought that the incident at Beimen was planned by us."

Wu Yizhi said: "This old fox Di Renjie is really hard to fight!"

Fang Qian said: "The situation is extremely urgent now. You immediately sent people to Sanhe County to tell Zhao Chuanchen and ask him to keep silent."

Wu Yizhi said: "Okay, I'll move right away!"

At about the same time that Li Yuanfang and Di Chun galloped towards Sanhe County, Fang Qian's servants were also ordered to gallop towards the same direction.

Night, in the back hall of the Governor's Mansion in Youzhou. Li Er lay on the hospital bed and closed his eyes tightly. Judge Dee put his hand on his wrist and closed his eyes slightly. Hu Jinghui and Lu Dayou stood quietly beside them. After a long time, Judge Dee opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Well, it seems that his life is safe."

Hu Jinghui and Lu Dayou breathed a sigh of relief. Judge Dee stood up and took a long stretch.

Hu Jinghui said: "Sir, I heard that the old man from Daliushu Village suddenly rebelled in court?"

Judge Dee smiled: "Yes. I think there must be something interesting in it."

Hu Jinghui glanced at Judge Di and hesitated to speak. Judge Dee smiled and said, "Just say what you want to say."

Hu Jinghui hesitated and said, "Sir, I feel that when you were in the second hall this morning, you seemed to be deliberately irritating Fang Qian. It seemed to be a bit of a show."

Judge Dee laughed loudly, patted Hu Jinghui on the shoulder and said, "Well said! I didn't expect that a brave general like Hu Jinghui could have such detailed observation. It's really rare. You are right, I was just acting. "

Hu Jinghui didn't understand what he meant and said "oh". Di Gong smiled and said: "To be honest, even if Zhang Laosi does not betray the truth, it is difficult to convict Fang Qian based on his few words from a common man. We don't know anything, and we don't have any evidence, but I I just want them to think that I know everything and have it all in mind. We must not use conventional case handling methods to deal with these cunning and cunning greedy and evil people. We must use deception to make them confused and deceive them into taking action on their own. .That’s when the opportunity comes.”

Hu Jinghui seemed to have a sudden enlightenment: "So that's it, sir, you are using your own spear to attack your own shield!"

Di Gong said: "Fang Qian thought he was smart and actually played official games with me. Humph, let alone him, how about people like Junchen, Suo Yuanli and Huo Xianke? It can be said that they were very popular and had all the power. The government and the opposition will end up being shattered to pieces. I have seen this kind of thing a lot, and I have dealt with more people like this. Just watch, the fun is yet to come!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. The door opened, and Li Yuanfang and Di Chun walked in quickly and said, "Sanhe County Magistrate Zhao Chuanchen is waiting in the front hall."

Judge Dee said: "Good luck, I'm waiting for him."

Zhao Chuanchen, who had a goatee and was wearing a seventh-grade court dress, kept wandering around the room, looking like someone from Xishuangbanna Prefecture. The door opened and Duke Di came in. Zhao Chuanchen hurriedly knelt on his knees and said, "Zhao Chuanchen, the magistrate of Sanhe County, is the humble imperial envoy."

Judge Dee called him up. Zhao Chuanchen stood up. Duke Di glanced at him and said coldly: "Zhao Chuanchen, do you understand your guilt?"

Zhao Chuanchen was shocked: "I don't know how humble my position is."

Judge Dee sneered: "Let me remind you. A year ago, the state transferred a sum of comfort money to the counties, but you did not transfer it to the people. Where did this money go?"

Cold sweat rolled down Zhao Chuanchen's forehead. He fell to his knees with a plop and said tremblingly: "Sir, this money was left by the villain."

Judge Dee raised his eyebrows: "Oh, why?"

Zhao Chuanchen said tremblingly: "Your Excellency, I have embezzled huge sums of money from my humble position. I know that my sin is serious. Please deal with it, Your Excellency."

Duke Di looked at him, Zhao Chuanchen lowered his head, not daring to look up. Judge Dee said: "Raise your head."

Zhao Chuanchen raised his head, and Duke Di looked at him with his eagle-like eyes: "Corrupting huge sums of money from the imperial court is a crime of deceiving the emperor. It is aimed at the Yi tribe. You must think clearly about this."

Zhao Chuanchen trembled all over, but quickly regained his composure: "This matter is indeed a despicable act."

Judge Dee asked: "Did you do it alone?"

Zhao Chuanchen said: "Exactly."

Judge Dee smiled: "Don't tell me that you are a small county magistrate, even state officials and governors don't have this ability! I advise you to tell the truth!"

Zhao Chuanchen's hands were trembling a little, and he swallowed softly: "It is indeed the work of a humble person."

Judge Dee said: "You have to think clearly about one thing. You cannot bear this crime. No matter what kind of promises the people behind you make, they are all false. Since they are throwing you out as a scapegoat now, why not Do you care about the life and death of your family?"

Zhao Chuanchen suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with fear.

Judge Di said: "There is only one fate for you - that is, to be killed by your master!" Zhao Chuanchen's lips moved.

Judge Dee smiled and said, "Don't believe it? We can play a game." After that, he shouted outside: "Come here."

Hu Jinghui came in, and Judge Di said: "Arrange Mr. Zhao to stay in the East Garden. Guards will be posted at the door. No one is allowed to approach." Hu Jinghui said, "Yes." Judge Dee smiled and said, "We will find out tomorrow. .”

"Go down."

Hu Jinghui said: "Yes."

……

Judge Dee suddenly said to the window: "Come out."

Zhang Yang ducked into the room and said, "As expected of Mr. Di, you have already sensed my arrival?"

"I'm not as capable as you, but the cicadas outside the window are silent. There must be some very dangerous person lurking outside the window, otherwise these cicadas will make people unable to sleep well."

Zhang Yang cupped his hands and said, "Master Di really observes the subtle things and knows the subtleties."

Judge Dee waved his hand and said, "Why do you come here late at night?"

"Mr. Di, I came here last night to ask you for a small favor."

Judge Dee said: "Tell me, you and I don't have to be so polite."

"I have purchased a restaurant and am planning to open it in fifteen days. I want you to come and support me." Seeing that Judge Dee wanted to refuse, Zhang Yang continued: "Sir, don't refuse in a hurry. I have a gift for you!"

Mr. Di said: "Oh, do you know what the crime is for bribing court officials?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Don't scare me, Mr. Di. This gift I'm talking about is from him." Pointing at Li Er.

Judge Dee was surprised: "Do you know his identity?"

Zhang Yang nodded: "I can guess it."

Judge Dee quickly asked: "Who is he?"

Zhang Yang heard something moving outside, shook his head and handed Mr. Dee a note, then flew out of the window.

……

Night, Governor's Mansion. Fang Qian walked around the room like a caged animal. There was a rush of footsteps outside, and Fang Qian immediately stopped and looked back. The door opened and Wu Yizhi walked in quickly. Fang Qian asked eagerly: "How is it?"

Wu Yizhi said: "Di Renjie detained Zhao Chuanchen in the mansion."

Fang Qian was startled and took two steps back: "You said Zhao Chuanchen won't betray us, right?"

Wu Yizhi pondered and said: "We are all sitting on the same boat. If we are finished, he can't run away. I think it won't be a problem, right?!"

Fang Qian slowly shook his head: "If it weren't for Di Renjie, everything would be easy to handle, but if Zhao Chuanchen fell into his hands, it would be hard to tell."

One sentence made Wu Yizhi become nervous: "What your lord means is——"

Fang Qian said: "I'll go to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow morning to say hello, and by the way, I'll check out Di Renjie's tone. I didn't expect that a man named Di would hold on to the consolation money. It's really unexpected."

……

At midnight, Zhang Yang returned to the inn.

Evil Lai said: "Master, there is someone waiting for you in the room."

Zhang Yang nodded, indicating that he understood.

Arriving at the room, Jin Mulan brought a man dressed in black and wearing a mask.

A masked man with a sword tied to his waist. It was very cold, and Zhang Yang liked the sword quite a bit.

Jin Mulan smiled and said, "You are finally back."

Zhang Yang said: "What's the matter?"

Jin Mulan said: "I have a plan and need your help."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said: "Your heart is extremely vicious, and your plan will kill many people."

Jin Mulan asked: "So?"

Zhang Yang said: "So I plan not to join your plan."
