Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 19 Meeting Di Gong for the First Time ([-])

Late at night, Lingzhou City.

The street was empty, and suddenly a team of yamen servants rushed out from an alley.

The yamen servants turned a street corner and came to an inn. Judging from the inn's plaque, it was the Lingzhou inn that Li Yuanfang lived in during the day.

One of the yamen servants stepped forward, knocked on the door quietly, and asked the waiter who opened the door, "Is he still there?"

The waiter replied, "I've already fallen asleep."

The leading yamen servant said hello, then waved his hand, and the yamen servants rushed forward.

Li Yuanfang in the room was sleeping with her clothes on, and suddenly picked up the steel knife in her hand and waved it around. After Li Yuanfang woke up, she realized that she was dreaming.

Li Yuanfang wiped the sweat from his forehead due to the nightmare, and just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly his ears moved, as if he heard something, put on his shoes, picked up the steel knife, and jumped onto the beam.

Outside the house, according to the instructions of the waiter, the yamen servants had just surrounded the house where Li Yuanfang lived, when they heard screams, and then there was no sound.

Not long after, Li Yuanfang looked at the black figure that suddenly appeared outside the window and said, "Since you're here, please come in."

Soi Ying said: "I didn't come here for a bounty, let alone kill you?"

Li Yuanfang said: "That's strange. Your Excellency came here late at night, there must be no purpose."

Black Shadow said slowly: "I will show you a way out."

Li Yuanfang asked with a strange expression: "What?"

Heiying said again: "Li Yuanfang, the most wanted criminal in Tianzi, even if you hide in the ends of the earth, you still can't escape the fate of being killed, can you? Since the imperial court issued the arrest document, you have fought dozens of fierce battles along the way. Exhausted and covered with bruises. Otherwise, you would not risk your life to come to Lingzhou City for treatment. If you want to survive, go find someone."

Black Shadow said slowly: "Di Renjie."

Li Yuanfang said in surprise, "It's Di Gong again!"

Now it was Hei Ying's turn to be surprised, and asked, "Did someone else tell you?"

Li Yuanfang remained silent.

Heiying pondered for a moment, and then said: "No matter who told you, at least this point is beyond doubt. Di Renjie has been ordered to return to Beijing to investigate the killing of the mission. We will reach Jiangzhang. Only Di Renjie can save you now."

Li Yuanfang asked, "Your Excellency's name?"

The black shadow didn't answer, and suddenly disappeared.

Seeing this, Li Yuanfang jumped off the beam and opened the window to see that there was no one.

Then Li Yuanfang opened the door again, and the corpses of the servants were lying on the ground in disorder.

When Li Yuanfang walked to the door of the inn, the voice of a black shadow came from a distance.

"I killed them to save you, and you should be blamed for this, right, hahahaha!"

With the black shadow's laughter, the black shadow gradually went away.

……

Chang'an, Imperial Garden.

Wu Zetian was pacing slowly. At this time, she was thinking about the case of the mission, when a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted her thoughts, Wu Zetian frowned.

I saw an official in a red official robe rushing over. When he got closer, he found that it was Zhang Jianzhi, the prime minister of the current dynasty.

Zhang Jianzhi cupped his hands behind Wu Zetian's back and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, this morning I received an urgent document from Lingzhou for six hundred miles, and the traitor Li Yuanfang appeared in Lingzhou."

Wu Zetian turned around and asked, "Have you caught it?"

Zhang Jianzhi replied: "This thief is extremely rampant. Last night, he killed 19 policemen from Lingzhou who went to arrest him, and disappeared."

Wu Zetian was furious when she heard the words, and cursed repeatedly: "Waste, all waste."

……

In the early morning, Jiangzhang County.

"drive!"

With the sound of horseshoes, a young man in purple clothes who looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old galloped forward, riding a steed under his crotch.

The young man was none other than Wang Mang who came all the way from Lingzhou.

Wang Mang didn't expect Li Yuanfang to follow his own words to come to Di Renjie. It would be best if Li Yuanfang could listen to his own words, and it would have no effect if he didn't listen.

Once Li Yuanfang didn't listen to her own suggestion, then when they met in the future, Li Yuanfang would more or less feel that she owed her a favor.

And Yu Feng and others will definitely not kill Li Yuanfang now, because they will also let Li Yuanfang come to find Di Renjie.

Therefore, Wang Mang no longer worried that Li Yuanfang would not be able to reach Jiangzhang, so he went directly to Jiangzhang to wait for Di Renjie.

In the afternoon, outside Jiangzhang County.

Di Renjie looked at the official document in his hand that had just been forwarded from the Ministry of Criminal Justice for six hundred miles in Lingzhou, and sighed: "What a bold Li Yuanfang! I want to see and see! What kind of person are you?"

In the evening, Jiangzhang County Posthouse.

Di Renjie was sitting behind the desk looking up the information on the killing of the mission, and then wrote on a piece of paper: Li Yuanfang—killed the Turkic mission—fleeing the scene—appeared again in Lingzhou—killed the police — Weird!
Di Renjie wrote three strange characters in a row, when a man who looked like a servant put a cup of tea on the table.

Di Renjie raised his head and said, "It's Di Chun!"

Seeing this, Di Chun said shyly, "My lord, you see, I just don't have the sharpness of vision. I always come in when you're thinking about something."

Di Renjie smiled slightly on his chubby face: "Di Chun, this time you came just in time!"

Di Chun said, "Master, did you think of something?"

Di Renjie stood up and said, "Let me ask you, if you were Li Yuanfang, what would you do after killing the mission?"

Di Chun laughed and said, "My lord, I dare not kill the envoy, and I'm not capable of doing so!"

Di Renjie couldn't help laughing, and said: "I mean, what if you kill the mission?"

Di Chun pondered, and Di Renjie immediately said: "Don't think about it, just talk about your most intuitive feeling?"

Di Chun smiled and said, "Then I will definitely find a place where no one is around to hide."

Di Renjie paced slowly and said, "Yes, this is the strange thing. After killing the mission, Li Yuanfang unexpectedly appeared in Lingzhou again."

Di Chun muttered: "No one forced him to go, isn't this courting death?"

Di Renjie turned around suddenly and asked, "What did you just say?"

Di Chun was puzzled, so he had to repeat: "I mean no one forced him to go, isn't this courting death?"

Di Renjie laughed and said: "Yes, no one forced him to go, but what if someone forced him? Di Chun, you are really a lucky star!"

Di Chun looked puzzled, and said: "Master, I didn't say anything. How far are we from the capital? Riding horses these days, my legs are almost worn out!"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Why don't we switch tomorrow, I will ride a horse, and you will take a car."

Di Chun said with a frightened face, "Oh! Master, aren't you taking my life away?"

Di Renjie scolded with a smile: "I think you are picking and scolding yourself."

Di Chun said again: "But having said that, I haven't been so majestic since I followed you when I was young. The guards of hundreds of people cleared the way, beat gongs and drums, and ate, drank, and waited for promises along the way. It's not like Like us in Pengze County, we climb mountains and ridges every day, eat bran and swallow vegetables, and it seems that we still deserve to be high officials!

Di Renjie sighed when he heard the words, and said slowly: "I'd rather eat bran swallowed vegetables, so at least my heart will be more peaceful!"

Di Chun asked strangely: "Why is that, don't you want to live a good life?"

Di Renjie said seriously: "The court affairs are complicated, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Most of the time is wasted on those superficial skills. It's better to be a county magistrate, closer to the people, and do some practical things for the people."

Di Chun said: "But have you ever thought about it, sir, the more officials you have, the more things you can do for the people!"

Di Renjie patted Di Chun's shoulder with a smile and said: "What you say makes sense, little guy. Officials don't matter how big or small they are, as long as they are willing to do things for the common people. I didn't expect you, little guy, to talk a little bit."

Di Chun scratched his head, and said with a smile, "I've been with you for so many years, Master, why should I learn a little bit!"

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Okay, go quickly, don't disturb my train of thought."
