Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 3

Ganliang Dao is located in the Hexi Corridor, which is the northwest frontier of Wuzhou. The flat sand is vast, stretches thousands of miles, and there are no people...

In the deep mountains of Ganliang Road, there is a village named Wangjiabao, which is a small village with only a dozen families.

As the sun sets, the small village in the deep mountains appears quiet and peaceful under the afterglow of the setting sun. Suddenly, there is a clear sound of horseshoes in the distance, and several horses and a carriage come galloping along the mountain road. Pulling the reins, the group of people stopped with the neighing of the horse.

The howling mountain wind lifts the hood of the coachman, and the coachman is Ah Cheng dressed up as a servant.The horses behind them also stopped, and an inquiring voice came from the carriage, "Ah Cheng, why did you stop?"

"Old master, look, there is a village ahead." Ah Cheng got off his horse and smiled at the old man in the carriage.

The people in the carriage raised the curtain and saw that there was indeed a small village in front of them. The old man in the carriage looked around and saw a stone tablet in front of the village with the words Wangjiabao written on it. We don’t have to sleep in the wild tonight.”

As he spoke, the old man got out of the carriage and walked into the small village called Wangjiabao first. Ah Cheng picked up the baby in the bamboo basket and hurriedly followed.

"Old master, we're here!" Ah Cheng got off his horse and said to the old man in the carriage.

"Ah Cheng, give me the child, you can knock on the door of a house and ask!" said the old man.

"Yes." As he spoke, Ah Cheng handed the baby in the bamboo basket to the old man, walked to the door of a family in the village, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Is anyone home?"

Not long after, a voice came from the door and asked, "Who are you?" The old man stepped forward and said with a kind smile, "Yuan Gong, we are just people who are traveling, because we missed our destination, we missed our place and went to the gate by mistake." In this deep mountain, I hope you can take advantage of your place to rest overnight!"

The courtyard man understood, and saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary face opened the door, hesitantly said: "This..." The old man then gave Ah Cheng a wink and said: "Don't dare to live in vain, I will provide you with Sichuan funding!" Ah Cheng took out a tael of silver from his bosom and handed it to the Yuan Gong. Seeing this, the Yuan Gong said to the old man and his party: "Forget it, it's common for people to spend the night in the mountains. Come in!"

Suddenly, the courtyard master noticed a baby in the old man's arms, and asked strangely, "This is it?"

The old man smiled and said: "Oh, this is an abandoned baby we picked up on the road. I couldn't bear to see it, so I took it with me!" The man heard this and praised: "The old man is merciful!"

As he spoke, he led the old man and his party into the yard, and saw a vegetable garden in the yard, surrounded by several houses. The man led the old man into one of the rooms, and the man said: "The house is simple, you can make do with it." Let's go!" The old man said with a smile: "It's okay, it's already very good, haven't you asked the name of the Duke?" The man scratched his head honestly and said, "My name is Wang San, and everyone in the village calls me San'er, old man Your name?"

The old man smiled and said: "My surname is Yuan, and my name is Tiangang. You can call me Mr. Yuan. These are my servants Lu Cheng and a few servants."

Wang San looked at the old man and said, "Is there anything else you need?" Yuan Tiangang looked at the child in his arms and said, "I don't know which family has a wet nurse in the village. I hope the courtyard master can give me some pointers." Wang Sanyi listened He smiled and said: "What a coincidence, my mother-in-law has just given birth to a daughter and is in confinement, let my mother-in-law take care of the child first."

Ah Cheng was overjoyed when he heard that: "Thank you very much. I hope the courtyard master will accept this money." Then he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to Wang San. Please don't refuse, your lady has just given birth, so this little money should be used to buy some supplements for your lady."

As soon as Wang San heard this, he didn't refuse anymore. Next, Wang San looked at the sky and said: "It's getting late, I'll let my mother-in-law take care of the children, and I'll cook for you."

Yuan Tiangang then said to Wang San: "Then bother the master."

Late at night, in a house in the village, eight mysterious people wearing copper masks, black clothes, black trousers, and white cloaks were standing quietly in front of a stone table. After a while, they came in I saw a person who was dressed the same as the previous eight people but wearing a black mask, and saw the previous eight people in black shouting in unison: "Heavenly King!"

The man wearing a black mask who came in nodded and asked, "Do you know where the people who came to the village today came from?"

One of the men in black wearing a copper mask replied, "It's a man named Yuan Tiangang and his servant Lu Cheng."

"It's him!" Tianwang's voice couldn't help but pause, and another man in black next to Tianwang asked curiously: "Heavenly King knows Yuan Tiangang, who is he?" Seeing that the other eight people looked unclear, Tianwang said in a deep voice : "He is the imperial court's Qintian Supervisor. He has made great efforts in Wu Zetian's position. What is he doing here?" The other eight people exclaimed: "What! He belongs to the emperor."

"Heavenly King, do we want to—" One of the men in black wearing a copper mask made a cross-cutting gesture on his neck.

"No, now that Wu Zetian has just ascended the throne, the court's attention is not on us. It is a critical period for us to recruit believers. We must not act rashly. Let's wait and see what happens, and see what his purpose is, and then make plans. "Heavenly King thought for a while and said, "Order people to closely monitor Yuan Tiangang and his party, and report any changes immediately!"

"Yes, king of heaven!" The eight men in black with bronze masks all agreed.

The king of heaven nodded in satisfaction: "Now is the critical period of our development, we must not be negligent!"

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Mang woke up from hunger again, and had no choice but to resort to the old trick—crying!

The sound of "Wow--" woke up Wang San's wife who was sleeping next to him. Wang San's wife had no choice but to get up to feed Wang Mang. After Wang Mang was full, she found him in an antique house. The square pillows that only appear in movies and TV shows, I don’t know what they are made of, and there is a half-old table not far from the bed, and there is a bronze mirror beside the bed...

Sure enough, I was reincarnated in ancient times. At that time, I thought it was a dream. I couldn't believe it. Now it seems that I have really arrived in ancient times.Wang Mangrao had already had some guesses when he saw the old man in Taoist robes and the carriage, but he still couldn't believe it now that such a thing as time travel would happen to him.But now I am in the house, who is this woman, the old man and the servant?Wang Mang was full of doubts...

After a long time, Wang Mang slowly came back to his senses and began to think about the current situation. It seems that the most important thing at present is to survive, and when he grows up, he will slowly figure out what era it is now. God let me come to this world, then I have to live well, and only by living can there be hope!
