Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 25
Youzhou, Xiaolianzi Mountain.

The cave was brightly lit, and hundreds of villagers were building weapons and armor in the cave.

At this time, a servant girl passed through the cave, and when she reached the depths of the cave, she stopped and said to a mysterious woman sitting on a chair behind the bamboo curtain, wearing armor and wearing a bamboo hat: "Master, Yu Feng is back. gone."

The mysterious woman said, "Let him come to see me."

The servant girl took the order and left.

After a while, the servant girl led a big man in black clothes into the cave.

The big man in black clasped his hands and said, "Master, I'm back."

It turns out that the mysterious woman and the big man in black are Jin Mulan and Yu Feng.

Jin Mulan asked: "How is the matter going?"

Yu Fengwenyan lowered his head and said: "There is a person who asked Li Yuanfang to find Di Renjie before us. , I didn’t see Li Yuanfang coming out, so I realized something was wrong. So I immediately took people to the county to have a look, and found that our people were all dead. The subordinates went to look for it immediately, but..."

Upon hearing this, Jin Mulan said angrily, "I didn't find it, did I?"

Yu Feng could only nod his head.

Jin Mulan slammed the table and scolded: "You can't even deal with a bad old man and a bad man who is seriously injured, trash! What a bunch of trash!"

Yu Feng bowed his head and remained silent.

After a while, Jin Mulan suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You said just now that someone also asked Li Yuanfang to find Di Renjie, who is it?"

Yu Feng replied: "Master, I suspect that this person sabotaged our plan, his subordinates are incompetent, and we haven't found out who it is yet."

Jin Mulan was furious when she heard the words, and said, "You haven't even found out your opponent, so what's the use of you?"

Yu Feng cupped his hands and said: "The subordinate is incompetent, please punish the master."

Jin Mulan shook her head: "The matter has come to this, what's the use of punishing you? Fortunately, Di Renjie didn't know our identities. Now that the list is in hand, the mission of this attack can be said to be successfully completed. Immediately ordered to destroy all All traces, everyone returns to Youzhou, and must not act without my order."

Yu Feng hurriedly replied: "Yes."

Jin Mulan murmured: "Without any trace, Di Renjie will never be able to solve this unsolved headless case no matter how much he can!"

……

Yuanjue Temple, this is a century-old temple.

Wu Zetian took his entourage to watch the ancient temple under the leadership of the abbot. Wu Zetian looked at the quiet ancient temple and sighed.

Seeing this, the abbot said: "Your Majesty has been frowning since entering the temple. Presumably there must be worries in his heart, and it is difficult to open his face."

Wu Zetian smiled and did not speak. The abbot said: "The so-called 'heart' means the square inch of the Lingtai, and the slanting moon and three stars. If the Lingtai is on fire, the slanting moon turns its back, and the three stars are missing. Naturally, the square inch is in chaos, and it is difficult for the heart to be smooth."

Wu Zetian stopped slowly when he heard the words, and asked: "The Lingtai is on fire, the slanting moon is on its back, and one of the three stars is missing. That is a Di character. Isn't the abbot's words meaningless?"

The abbot laughed and said, "The old monk is just talking casually, without any intention."

Wu Zetian suddenly pointed to a locked left courtyard and asked, "Master, why is the door of the left courtyard locked?"

The abbot said: "The old monk dare not speak."

Wu Zetian said: "Speak, I will forgive you for not guilty."

The abbot said: "There is a strange man in the courtyard, whose name is: Lidihuo, who can be known for 500 years from the top and 500 years from the bottom. The old monk is afraid that he will go out and cause trouble, so he is locked in the courtyard."

Wu Zetian said strangely: "Oh? There is such a person, I want to meet."

The abbot wondered: "Well, if this person offends His Majesty, the old monk will die forever."

Wu Zetian laughed and said, "To defy the decree openly is also to be blamed for ten thousand deaths."

The abbot had no choice but to open the gate of the courtyard and said: "Please forgive the old monk for being rude, but the poor monk dares to invite His Majesty to enter alone."

Hu Jinghui next to Wu Zetian said sharply: "The old monk doesn't know how to advance or retreat. Your Majesty will go in alone. If something happens, who will dare to bear it."

Wu Zetian waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Okay, I will go in alone."

After a while, Wu Zetian followed the abbot into a room in the courtyard. After Wu Zetian entered, he saw a person with his back turned to him.

The man turned around slowly, and bowed: "Criminal Di Renjie greets His Majesty, long live! Long live!"

Wu Zetian was startled and said, "Huaiying, it's really you."

Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty's crime deserves death."

Wu Zetian helped Di Renjie up with both hands, and said, "Huaiying, please get up quickly."

Di Renjie stood up and said with a smile: "I see that your Majesty's dragon body is healthy and healthy. It's my luck, the luck of the world, and the luck of all people."

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Old man, there's no need for this nonsense between us."

Di Renjie's eye sockets were moist.

Wu Zetian patted Di Renjie's hands and said with a smile: "Old guy, I haven't seen you for a few years. I really miss you. You are old and you have more wrinkles on your face. However, Di Huaiying is Di Huaiying." Ying, cunning old fox, I have never believed that you are really dead."

Di Renjie also smiled and said, "Your majesty is the one who knows you."

Wu Zetian deserved to be a person who can accomplish great things. He immediately adjusted his mentality and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Di Renjie said: "Your Majesty, can Rong Chen ask a question first?"

Wu Zetian said, "What?"

Di Renjie said seriously: "Who is imprisoned in the kiln?"

Wu Zetian was surprised and said, "How did you know?"

Di Renjie said to himself: "Analyze."

When Wu Zetian heard the words, he smiled and said, "Civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty, I can only believe this if you, Di Huaiying, say this. It seems that you have already found the answer."

Di Renjie said lightly: "Yes."

Wu Zetian said: "Ten years ago, Ni Qu, headed by Li Yuangui, King of Yue, and Li Ai, Duke of Huang, held a secret meeting in Xiangyang to summon Li and Tang's old ministers to rebel. .”

Di Renjie said: "I have also heard about this incident. Many people participated without knowing it at that time, and were deceived by King Yue to Xiangyang."

Wu Zetian nodded: "I also know this, but Liu Jin, the traitor, used the list in his hand to stir up trouble and colluded with the participants to rebel. At first, many people did not dare to rebel, and did not want to rebel, but Liu Jin threatened them. It must be reported to the imperial court. So, in desperation, these people had no choice but to follow."

Di Renjie nodded: "It's such a poisonous strategy. These people will die anyway, and they will die anyway. It's better to put all your eggs in one basket."

Wu Zetian nodded: "One year ago, by chance, Liu Jin was caught. At first, he was imprisoned in the sky prison, and I ordered Qianniuwei to torture him, but this guy is very tyrannical, and he can't die. Hand over the list. Later, within a month, more than a dozen waves of rebels broke into the sky prison, so I pretended to order someone to execute Liu Jin, and found a death row prisoner to replace Liu Jin during the execution, and Liu Jin was secretly He was imprisoned in an earthen kiln outside the city. In this way, the rebels outside thought that Liu Jin was dead, so they stopped coming. Unexpectedly..."

Di Renjie said with a relaxed expression: "I fully understand, Your Majesty, this fake mission is here to save Liu Jin."

Wu Zetian was startled and said, "What?"

Di Renjie took out a memorial from his sleeve, handed it over with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, please have a look."

After a long time, Wu Zetian raised his head and said, "It turned out to be like this."

Di Renjie said: "I have a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Wu Zetian said with a smile: "between you and me, of course you have to say what should be said, but it doesn't matter if you say what is inappropriate. Don't worry about it, just speak the truth."

Di Renjie said slowly: "There are traitors in the court."

A cold light flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, and he asked, "Who is it?"

Di Renjie said: "I don't know, the female officials in the palace, the servants, the ministers in the court, and the generals are all possible, so we must be extremely careful in our actions, maybe the traitor is around you and me."

Wu Zetian nodded, then looked at Di Renjie and said with a smile: "It seems that Huaiying has already made up her mind."

So Di Renjie explained the strategy again.
