Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 34
Youzhou, Xiaolianzi Mountain.

When Jin Mulan heard what happened in the Inspector's Court, she screamed and fell down on the chair.

The voice of Yu Feng, who was standing next to him, was trembling: "Master, Li Er is now in Di Renjie's hands. Once he speaks, it will be over!"

Jin Mulan lost her mind, walked up and down the house, and murmured, "It's incredible how Di Renjie is in Xiaolianzi Village!"

With a flash of sternness on Yu Feng's face, he said: "If you don't do anything, you will never stop, kill Di Renjie, and you will never have future troubles!"

Jin Mulan shook her head and said: "Killing Di Renjie is equivalent to telling the court that we are in Youzhou. At that time, Wu Zetian will definitely send a large army to come. As for us, the Turkic foreign aid has not yet arrived, and the contact list has not yet been completed. Rebellion can only lead to a dead end. Therefore, you must not kill him!"

Yu Feng asked: "Then what should we do?"

Jin Mulan took a deep breath, and said slowly: "There is only one way now - to kill someone! Di Renjie doesn't know Li Er's true identity. Therefore, as long as Li Er dies, even if he has great doubts, he can only It’s undeniable.”

Yu Feng clapped his hands and praised: "Gao! Master, this is really a clever plan!"

Jin Mulan gave an order: "Notify Viper, get rid of Li Er no matter what!"

At night, in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.

Li Er was lying on the bed, and Lu Dayou slowly fed the medicine into his mouth.

Di Renjie kept pacing the room, while Wang Mang and Hu Jinghui sat aside and watched him quietly.

Suddenly, Di Renjie stopped, turned around, and said, "The most urgent task is to thoroughly investigate the reason why Xiaolianzi Village was closed to the mountain, catch the corrupt officials, and eliminate the harm for the people of Youzhou!"

Hu Jinghui said: "But, my lord, we are here to investigate the killing of the mission, so doing this is putting the cart before the horse, isn't it?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, the sages and sages have always been people-oriented. The people have sufferings, but the officials ignore them, or intensify the oppression and exploitation, and use torture to prevent the mouth of the people. It’s a sign. Therefore, deciding civil cases first is the foundation of being an official.”

Hu Jinghui said: "Although the words are good, but what about the killing of the mission? We only have three months."

Di Renjie seemed to have a plan in mind, and said very confidently: "Believe me, during this period, we will get unexpected gains."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Wang Mang said, "My lord, more than a dozen villagers from Daliushu Village are still in prison."

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang, smiled meaningfully and said, "Jing Yang, you should be the one who gave money to the villagers!"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes, my lord! I also can't understand Fang Qian's actions, and the villagers are so poorly dressed, it's really pitiful!"

Di Renjie paused and said: "Jing Yang, you go and bring out the villagers from the prison tomorrow, and I want to see what Fang Qian has to say when you go to the court tomorrow for questioning?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "I'm relieved, I made a promise to the villagers of Daliushu Village back then."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Okay, it's rare for Jing Yang to have such a heart of benevolence and righteousness. Yuan Fang and the others should be back tomorrow, Jing Hui, go and pick them up."

Hu Jinghui nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord."

Di Renjie smiled again, and asked inscrutablely, "Jing Yang, why did you come to Youzhou?"

Hu Jinghui's face changed slightly when he heard the words. Ever since he met Wang Mang in the second hall of the Governor's Mansion, he had been worried that Wang Mang would say something nonsense to Di Renjie and ruin the plan, and now he really came.

Wang Mang looked at Hu Jinghui indiscriminately, and said, "My lord, the reason why I came to Youzhou is to wait for the imperial guards to come and tell you."

Di Renjie nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

Hu Jinghui also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Wang Mang hasn't said anything, it means there is still a chance.

In the middle of the night, Wang Mang was sitting alone in the house. It was strange that there were two cups of steaming tea on the table.

Suddenly, a black shadow came in from the window of Wang Mang's house. The black shadow first looked at the tea on the table, and then slowly sat opposite to Wang Mang. The black shadow was Wang Mang's brother Hu Jinghui.

After Hu Jinghui sat down, he said, "Jing Yang, you have grown up, and my brother can't control you anymore."

Wang Mang didn't answer, but said slowly, "Don't kill Li Er."

Hu Jinghui's expression changed after Wang Mang's first sentence, and he asked, "How do you know, I just got the news from Alan as well."

Wang Mang said indifferently: "Analysis, but now it seems that my analysis is quite correct."

Hu Jinghui's face suddenly turned blue and white, turning ugly.

After a while, he said, "I never thought I would have such an amazing younger brother."

Wang Mang looked at Hu Jinghui and said, "Brother, you followed Di Gong around the nearby villages for a few days, how do you feel? Do you think it's really right for you to do this?"

Hu Jinghui thought of those villagers when he heard the words, and murmured: "Are we really wrong?"

Wang Mang continued: "Brother, do you really think there will be a second Wu Zetian in this world? Ask yourself again, who will Jin Mulan choose between you and the world?"

Hu Jinghui lowered his head and pondered for a moment, his face changed a few times, but he immediately thought of something, and said, "No, Alan won't lie to me!"

Wang Mang looked at Hu Jinghui, smiled wryly and shook his head: "Brother, I know I can't convince you now, but don't stop me."

Wang Mang had never been in love in his previous life, let alone in this life, so he had no idea what a person in love like Hu Jinghui thinks.

It seems that the only way to make Jin Mulan fail in raising troops according to the original plot is to make Hu Jinghui come to his senses.

Only by letting Hu Jinghui stop helping Jin Mulan, then Wang Mang can find a way to save Hu Jinghui.

Wang Mang is not a saint either, he doesn't care who wants to be emperor.

However, we cannot agree with Jin Mulan’s behavior of relying on foreigners to invade the Central Plains. Think about the chaos of China in the later generations, the Mongol invasion, and the entry of Qing soldiers. How many Han people died at the hands of foreigners at that time.

Seeing Hu Jinghui lost in thought, Wang Mang knew that the time to persuade him was not far away, and the next thing to look at was Di Renjie's performance.

Early the next morning, when Wang Mang got up, he heard someone talking in the second hall.

After a closer look, it turned out to be Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou, and Sima Wu Yizhi, who were talking about something.

Just as Wang Mang was about to go in, he saw Di Renjie and Hu Jinghui coming from a distance.

Wang Mang smiled and said, "My lord, General Tiger, you got up so early!"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "When you get old, you can't sleep. Jing Yang, Jing Hui, you young people should sleep more!"

Hu Jinghui glanced at Wang Mang nonchalantly, and said with a smile, "I have something on my mind, I can't sleep!"

Di Renjie glanced at Wang Mang and Hu Jinghui indiscriminately, and said with a smile: "Jing Yang, Jing Hui, your two names are really unusual. If it weren't for the difference in surnames, others would think you are brothers!"

Wang Mang was startled, and smiled with an unchanged expression: "My lord, what you said is flattering me. General Tiger is the Emperor's personal guard, and General Zhonglang of Qianniu Guard. How dare a mere knight-errant in the world dare to flirt with me?" Woolen cloth."

When Hu Jinghui heard this, he also smiled and said: "Uncle Wang is no ordinary knight-errant now, you, Uncle Xiaoyao who was conferred by the emperor himself, is not ordinary!"

Wang Mang watched Hu Jinghui pretending not to know him at all, and he couldn't help admiring Hu Jinghui's acting skills. No wonder many people didn't see that the original play was so good.

Seeing this, Di Renjie laughed quickly and said: "Okay, you two are a fourth-rank general and a fifth-rank uncle Xiaoyao, so don't be humble to each other. Jinghui just said that I have something on my mind, and I also have a lot of things on my mind to ask our you Mr. Fang, governor of the state! Let’s go and see Mr. Fang.”

Wang Mang and Hu Jinghui nodded and hurriedly followed.
