Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 30 The Inspector of Youzhou
"Waste, they are all a bunch of waste! Get lost!"

Before Wang Mang and Master Lin entered the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, they heard a burst of shouting and cursing.

Wang Mang was thoughtful when he heard the words, and after a while, several generals in armor walked out of the main hall.

After Wang Mang and Master Lin walked into the main hall, a thin middle-aged man in a light scarlet official robe was bowing his head behind the desk and meditating, not knowing what he was thinking.

As soon as Master Lin saw this person, he said: "My lord, I received news from the yamen servants today that Li Er once stayed in an inn with this person. The shop owner suspected that this person was related to Li Er."

Fang Qian, the governor, was worried about Li Er's matter, when he heard this, he immediately raised his head and asked Wang Mang, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Wang Mang took a closer look at Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou. At this time, Wang Mang couldn't help admiring the wisdom of the ancients. This fake governor couldn't tell that he was wearing a human skin mask. No wonder Di Renjie never found out that this person was fake.

Wang Mang said, "Wang Jingyang."

Master Lin added from the side: "My lord, this man is Uncle Xiaoyao who was just appointed by the emperor."

Fang Qian nodded and said, "Even if you are Uncle Xiaoyao, you have no right to hide criminals privately, aren't you afraid that I will participate in your performance?"

Hearing this, Wang Mang's face immediately changed, and he said sadly: "Of course I have no right to harbor a criminal. I didn't know that person was a criminal at the time. If I had known earlier, I would have caught him no matter what. Alas, what a pity. what!"

Master Lin was dumbfounded, he thought Wang Mang was going to excuse Li Er, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

When Fang Qian heard Wang Mang say this, he didn't know what to say, and finally said: "I don't know if the uncle knows where the criminal will go?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "How do I know? I also came to Youzhou last night. I saw that man was covered in blood. As a great uncle Zhou, how could I not save him? Unexpectedly, I found out this morning that The man ran away."

Fang Qian thought for a while and asked, "Then why did uncle come to Youzhou?"

Wang Mang asked meaningfully: "Does the governor even care about the emperor's affairs?"

Fang Qian said immediately after hearing the words: "I made a slip of the tongue, and I hope uncle will forgive me."

Wang Mang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, those who don't know don't blame it, everyone is doing things for the emperor, there is nothing to blame."

Fang Qian's face softened when he heard the words, and said: "Since my uncle has come to Youzhou, no matter what, let me do my best as a landlord. Come and arrange for my uncle to live in the backyard."

Wang Mang thought about it, and said to Fang Qian with a smile: "If this is the case, then respect is worse than obedience, thank you sir."

Fang Qian said with a smile: "Uncle, it's polite to say this, but I'm busy with business, and I'll have a long talk with Uncle after I'm on duty."

Wang Mang said: "Since my lord has official duties, I will take my leave first."

After speaking, Wang Mang lived in the backyard under the leadership of his servants.

After Wang Mang left, Fang Qian snorted coldly: "Little fox!"

Fang Qian thought about it again, and said to the people next to him, "Go ask Sima to come over."

The servants lead the way.

After a while, Sima came, and after Fang Qian told Sima Daoming what was going on, he said, "Yizhi, I don't think this kid came in a good way, so I made an excuse to let him live in the backyard. You send someone to watch carefully. I want to see what he does when he comes to Youzhou."

Sima's expression changed suddenly and he said, "Could it be that the emperor noticed something?"

Fang Qian thought for a while and said, "Impossible. Even Di Renjie has gone to Taiyuan, the northern capital. Would he send such a brat over here? In my opinion, there may be something else."

Sima thought for a while and said, "That's right, do you want to report this matter?"

Fang Qian said with a smile: "I don't think there is any need to report such a small matter. However, you have to send someone to closely monitor it."

Sima nodded: "Don't worry!"

……

An inn somewhere in Youzhou, after the three of Di Renjie found an inn and settled down.

The three of them sat around the table, Li Yuanfang asked: "My lord, I still don't understand why we came to Youzhou."

Di Renjie said indifferently: "Of course it is because of the killing of the mission."

Li Yuanfang replied: "The mission was killed in Shihechuan, Gannan Province. Why did we come to Youzhou?"

Hu Jinghui echoed from the side: "Yeah, what Yuan Fang said makes sense, we come here, it seems a bit different."

Di Renjie shook his head, and said with a smile: "The opposite is the opposite? Wrong, in my opinion, it should be said that it is a sham. Gan Nandao is just a suspicious soldier, just an appearance rather than the truth."

Hu Jinghui asked with a blank face: "My lord's words are so unpredictable.

Dissatisfied with you, all the ministers in the DPRK think that you are going to Shihechuan, Gannan Province, where the Turkic mission was killed, at least you should visit it.

But the first thing I didn't expect was that the emperor would send you to pay homage to Beidu.

The second unexpected thing is that you have already arrived in Taiyuan, but you didn't even enter the city, so you abandoned the brigade and went straight to Youzhou.

Oops, Jinghui has been thinking about it for the past few days, and he didn't even think about what you mean, my lord. "

Di Renjie smiled, and asked Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, do you still remember the Qianniuwei we met in Jiangzhang County who falsely preached the imperial decree?"

Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "I remember."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Then you shouldn't be surprised."

Li Yuanfang recalled for a while, and said: "Remember, my lord said at that time that that person had a Youzhou accent, but he denied it."

Di Renjie said: "Yes, not only him, those masked people who chased and killed us all spoke with a Youzhou accent, and Liu Jin who was in the kiln was also captured in Youzhou. Therefore, I conclude that Youzhou must be related to you." This case is related. That's why I came to Youzhou."

Hu Jinghui asked again: "My lord, since our destination is Youzhou, why did the emperor want us to go to Taiyuan?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Don't underestimate our opponents. They have hands and eyes, and many eyes and ears. All our actions are under their surveillance. The so-called Taiyuan Sacrifice is just to divert their attention. That's all."

Li Yuanfang asked: "My lord, what should we do now?"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a knock on the door, Li Yuanfang opened the door, and the waiter came in, holding a washbasin in his hand, and said with a smile: "Masters, the journey is hard, wash your feet, and relieve fatigue."

Li Yuanfang took the washbasin, just as the waiter was about to leave, Di Renjie stopped the waiter: "Xiaoer, I want to ask you something."

The shop waiter said, "Say it."

Di Renjie said: "What happened in this city that the security is so tight?"

The waiter asked strangely: "Why, you haven't heard?"

Di Renjie shook his head: "No."

The waiter said: "Last night, a death row prisoner escaped from prison."

Di Renjie nodded: "So that's the case."

The waiter smiled and said, "Guest officers, I'm leaving."

Di Renjie nodded.

After the shop waiter left, Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "How about this, the two of you will follow me to the nearby countryside for a walk tomorrow."

Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang nodded.
