Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 21

After listening to Li Yuanfang's words, Di Renjie asked, "The handkerchief you just mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanfang said: "My lord's shrewdness and meticulousness are rare in the world. You want to use the details in my words to judge the truth of what I said."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Although the words are good, but a little bit of a villain's heart to judge the gentleman's belly, this handkerchief is the only physical evidence, I want to see it."

Li Yuanfang nodded, and said, "You should carry the humble job with you."

Speaking of which, Li Yuanfang took out the handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Di Renjie.Di Renjie took it and looked at it. It was a white lake silk handkerchief embroidered with blue snakes.

Di Renjie looked at the handkerchief in his hand and asked, "Why did he let you go?"

Li Yuanfang sighed, and said: "I understand now, they want to blame the murder of the Turkic mission on the humble officials.

Sure enough, when the imperial court issued the document of arrest at sea, I wanted to hide it, and after the news passed, I would explain the whole story to the officials and recover my innocence.

But behind me, I want to have a pair of eyes staring at me, no matter where I hide, those people from the Jianghu and Gongmen who want to receive rewards will appear there.In the end, I had no choice but to look for the adults. "

Di Renjie snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "It's not that you want to come to see me, it's that they want you to come to see me."

Li Yuanfang was stunned, and asked, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Di Renjie asked sharply: "How do you know that I was ordered to go back to Beijing to investigate the case, and how do you know where I ended up? These are all court secrets. How would you know, like a wild man?"

Li Yuanfang looked ugly, and stammered: "I...I..."

Di Renjie then asked: "Someone guided you here, who is it?"

"it's me!"

Li Yuanfang was about to answer when a voice came from outside the window.

Li Yuanfang's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and immediately took out the steel knife on his body, and asked, "Who is it?"

Di Renjie sat on the chair with his expression unchanged and watched the visitor quietly. The visitor slowly opened the door, and a young man in purple clothes with his hair tied back casually walked in through the door.

When Li Yuanfang saw the person coming, he blurted out: "It's you."

The person who came was Wang Mang who came to Jiangzhang early this morning. Wang Mang had been listening to their conversation outside, and then he came out.

Di Renjie asked strangely: "Why, do you know each other?"

Only then did Li Yuanfang put away the steel knife in his hand, and said: "Yes, I met this little brother outside Lingzhou City. At that time, I was besieged by three people from the rivers and lakes. It was this little brother who relieved me." Wai. After this little brother saved me, he told me to come to you, my lord."

When talking about this, Li Yuanfang said with a face of embarrassment: "But at that time, I thought this little brother was not a good person, so I didn't listen to him, and went to Lingzhou City. It’s not up to you, my lord.”

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanfang said to Wang Mang: "I was so disrespectful to my little brother that day, I still hope my little brother will be happy!"

Wang Mang said with a smile: "This is also human nature. No one will believe a person who meets for the first time. Don't worry about it, Brother Yuan Fang."

At this time, Di Renjie asked loudly: "This little brother, I don't know how to call him?"

Wang Mang said: "Just call me Jing Yang. As for the surname, the boy's surname is Wang. I have heard of Di Gong's name for a long time, and it is better to meet him than to be famous. I hope Di Gong will forgive the boy for eavesdropping."

When Di Renjie heard this, he smiled and said, "How can I, an old man in his sixtieth year, know as much as you, a little doll?"

At this time, Di Renjie said to Li Yuanfang: "You just said that there is someone helping you in Lingzhou City. Who is it?"

Li Yuanfang said: "It's like this. I didn't follow Jing Yang's advice and sneaked into Lingzhou City for treatment. That night, I suddenly heard screams. After I walked out, I found the bodies of the servants lying down. One place."

Di Renjie asked, "How did the policemen die?"

Li Yuanfang replied: "It's a strange person. I haven't seen what other people look like. He told me that if I want to survive, I should go to you, my lord. I was persuaded by two people to go to you, my lord, within a day." That's when I made up my mind to come to you."

After listening to Li Yuanfang's words, Di Renjie looked at him in silence, and after a while, he said to Li Yuanfang and Wang Mang, "What weapons do you usually use?"

Li Yuanfang said without hesitation: "A humble job uses a knife."

Di Renjie said, "Show me."

Li Yuanfang took out the steel knife on his body. After Di Renjie took it, he first looked at the blade in his hand, then at the handle, and asked, "Has this knife been with you for many years?"

Li Yuanfang nodded and said: "When I was serving in Liangzhou, this knife was by my side.

Di Renjie nodded, then looked at Wang Mang in silence.

Looking at this posture, Wang Mang knew that Di Renjie also doubted himself, so he said with a smile: "The boy usually uses a short sword, and sometimes he also uses a hidden weapon."

Di Renjie said, "Can you show the old man?"

Wang Mang knew Di Renjie's character, so he handed Di Renjie the dagger in his sleeve and the wooden box in his arms.

After Di Renjie took it, he looked at it, and then he smiled and said, "You didn't kill the arrester. According to the official document from Lingzhou, the arrester in Lingzhou was killed by a long sword."

Li Yuanfang said with admiration: "My lord is really a god!"

Wang Mang looked at Li Yuanfang and said this famous sentence naturally, with a confused expression on his face.

After reacting, Wang Mang also said: "My lord is really a god!"

While the three of Wang Mang were talking, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes from the street outside the post house, and the guard outside the post house shouted, "Stop, who is it?"

"Qianniuwei in Jingzhong, does Master Di Renjie live here?"

General Qianniuwei, who took the lead, said.

The guard on guard cupped his hands and said: "General, sorry for my humble position, Master Di lives here."

The general said: "Lead the way ahead."

The guard said, "Yes."

After speaking, he took the general into the post house.

……

Inside the house, Di Renjie asked Li Yuanfang: "Do you know why those people in the rivers and lakes chased you wherever you hid?"

Li Yuanfang shook his head. Seeing this, Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang and said affirmatively, "I think you must know the reason?"

Seeing this, Wang Mang really admired Di Renjie's mind, that he could think of himself so quickly, and said: "Yes, I overheard the conversation of some people who lived in the same inn with me by chance. .”

As he spoke, such a picture flashed in Wang Mang's mind.

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.

Surrounded by the table in the center of the room were three people in black tight suits and a middle-aged man in a blue crew-neck gown with a fat figure.

The middle-aged man in the blue robe said: "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 said: "Our people, are we all 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 quietly returned to his room.
