Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 17 Di Renjie

Xiaonan Village, Pengze County is a small village with only a dozen households.Today, the villagers gathered together one after another. It turned out that the wife of the villager on Tuesday hanged herself.

At this time, there was an old man wearing a green official robe, an official hat, and a long beard under his chin, who looked a little fat, and slowly opened his closed eyes. A mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he continued, "I'm old, and I feel tired after standing for a while."

At this time, a young man who looked like a servant was holding a bowl of water and handed it to the old man: "Master."

After receiving the water, the old man said to a middle-aged man dressed as a villager who was standing in front of the door with a sad face, "Tuesday, you said, your wife hanged herself?"

Tue replied: "Yes. Grandpa, I just came back from the field. As soon as I entered the house, she...she had hanged herself!" As she said, she began to cry on Tuesday.

The old man nodded, put down the bowl in his hand, and said, "Oh, that's right."

Then he stood up, walked in front of Tuesday, patted Tuesday on the shoulder, and said, "Come with me."

I was stunned for a moment on Tuesday, and hurried to follow.

The old man said, "Come on, let me tell you how to commit a crime."

On Tuesday, I was stunned, and all the servants in the room were also stunned.

The old man walked into the house first, and then said: "First of all, if I were you, after strangling my wife to death, I would definitely change her into a new set of clothes."

Tuesday couldn't help shaking all over: "My lord, what did you say?"

The old man ignored his words, and continued: "Because, obviously, the clothes on your wife were just torn, which proves that someone must have wrestled with her before she died."

Tuesday forced a smile and said, "My lord, you...you are joking."

The old man continued: "Second, I will cover up the scratches on my neck."

Tuesday subconsciously touched the scratch on his neck.

The old man said again: "The torn clothes and the scratches on the neck, two and one pair, prove that the person who scuffled with her is you!"

The old man walked slowly to the corner, picked up the hoe, and said: "Third, I will throw the hoe at the door. According to what you said, when you came back from the field, you found your wife hanged yourself. Don't you have time to walk into the house calmly?" , and stand the hoe in the corner?"

After finishing speaking, the old man threw the hoe in front of Tuesday, who was shocked.

At this time, the servants slowly came forward and surrounded Tuesday in the middle.

The old man continued: "Fourth, after I strangled my wife, I would never hang her so high."

As he spoke, the old man walked under the corpse and lifted the bench at the foot of the corpse.Surprisingly, the corpse's feet were a foot away from the bench!
The old man said with a smile: "If she committed suicide by hanging herself, how could her feet be so far away from the bench? She couldn't kick the bench over at this distance. So all this can only mean that after you strangled her to death, you kicked the bench over. She was hung from the roof beam."

Hearing a cry on Tuesday, he collapsed to the ground.

The old man shouted loudly: "Bold Tuesday, what else do you have to say now?"

At this time on Tuesday, his face was pale, his lips were purple, and he suddenly burst into tears.

The old man shouted to the left and right: "If you can't bear it for a while, it will cause a catastrophe. Take him down!"

After the yamen servants put Tuesday under arrest, one of the yamen servants suddenly knelt down on his knees and said, "Grandpa, you are amazing. Ever since you arrived in Pengze County, the little ones have never used their brains in handling cases."

It turns out that this old man is Di Renjie, the current magistrate of Pengze County.

Di Renjie laughed and said, "Okay, get up, get up."

At this moment, a yamen servant entered the room and said to Di Renjie, "Master, the imperial decree has arrived."

Di Renjie said in surprise, "What!"

The yamen servant went on to say: "The imperial envoy is now in the yamen, and I ask you to go back to the yamen immediately to receive the order."

……

Lingzhou City, Yuelai Inn.

Wang Mang felt that things were very unusual at this time, and there were some strange people in the inn in recent days.

Although I haven't seen the weapons of these people, judging from the clothes and walking posture of these people, these people are obviously people who have practiced martial arts.

In the middle of the night, Wang Mang sneaked into these people's residences. Wang Mang licked his fingertips with his tongue and opened a thin layer of window paper.

One of Wang Mang's eyes looked in through the small hole.

At this time, around the table in the center of the room, there were three people in black tight suits and a middle-aged man in a blue round-neck robe with a fat figure.

The middle-aged man in the blue robe asked: "The master asked us to pass the news of Li Yuanfang to the people in Jianghu. How are you doing?"

One of the men in black said: "Don't worry, we have secretly released the news to those desperadoes in the Jianghu and the people in the palace. I am afraid that Li Yuanfang will be forced to come to Lingzhou in a short time."

The middle-aged man in the blue robe asked again: "Have all our people been arranged?"

Another man in black said, "Don't worry, leader Yu Feng will lead the team himself, there will be no problem."

The middle-aged man in the blue robe said: "That's good! When Li Yuanfang arrives in Jiangzhang..."

Before the middle-aged man in the blue robe finished speaking, a man in black shouted, "Who?"

The man in black opened the window and saw a cat meowing. The man in black heaved a sigh of relief and said to the people in the house, "It turned out to be a cat."

The series of actions of the man in black startled Wang Mang, so Wang Mang didn't dare to stay any longer, and slowly returned to his room.

Early the next morning, when Wang Mang walked to the city wall, he saw a portrait of a young man pasted on the city wall, and everyone talked about it:

"See, this is the court's most wanted criminal."

"Hey, look, there is a reward of [-] silver for those who are captured alive; [-] for those who are killed; and [-] for those who report to the government. That's really high!"

"Come on, don't think about toads eating swan meat. Who dares to provoke such desperadoes? You haven't seen what they look like. Your head has already moved, and you still think about rewards."

Wang Mang looked at it for a while, and it turned out that this was the sea arrest document of the court's most wanted criminals, and the wanted person in it was Li Yuanfang, whom he was looking for so hard.

A few days later, outside Lingzhou City.

In a Populus euphratica forest, a young man with a haggard and pale face was walking slowly towards Lingzhou City, when suddenly the young man's ears moved and he stopped.

At this moment, three burly men in well-dressed clothes jumped down from the tree, and one burly man laughed and said, "Brothers have been guarding here for several days, today I should make a fortune."

The young man raised his head slowly. Although the young man's complexion was as pale as paper, there was a frightening cold light in his eyes.The young man said slowly: "My head is so valuable, you are not the first wave of people who want to reward you with money, please sign up."

The young man is Li Yuanfang who is wanted by the court.

The well-dressed man in the middle said: "The three heroes of Mobei. Well, now that we know, let's send you on your way."

As they spoke, the three of them surrounded Li Yuanfang.

At this moment, there were three crisp sounds of "Whoo! Whoosh! Whoosh!" from the other side of the forest.

Then the bodies of the three masters of Mobei fell to the ground one by one like dumplings.

Li Yuanfang watched the strange scene in front of him, and cold sweat slowly rolled down his forehead.

At this time, a boy in purple clothes came out from the forest. He looked like a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old. The boy's long hair was tied behind his head casually, holding a wooden box in his hand, and he was looking at Li Yuanfang with a smile.

When the young man slowly walked over, Li Yuanfang finally couldn't help but said, "Why, you want my life too?"

"No! No! No!" The young man seemed to be very curious about Li Yuanfang. After walking around him a few times, he said, "I'm not interested in your life. I just want to meet you and tell you a way to survive."

As he spoke, the young man took out a white porcelain bottle from his pocket and threw it to Li Yuanfang, saying, "This is a white medicine for healing wounds. It's up to you whether you use it or not. If you want to survive, don't go to Lingzhou, go to Jiangzhang to find Di Renjie."

After finishing speaking, the boy left without waiting for Li Yuanfang to reply.

The boy was Wang Mang who came to look for Li Yuanfang. As for the wooden box that killed the three heroes of Mobei, it was a shadowless needle made by Wang Mang himself using the mechanism technique he learned from Yuan Tiangang over the years. A poisonous substance obtained from Tiangang.

To be honest, the Wuying Needle was not so easy to hit the third-rate Mobei Three Heroes, but at that time the attention of the Mobei Three Heroes was on Li Yuanfang, which made Wang Mang use the Wuying Needle for the first time. The enemy has achieved good results.
