Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 61 Release from Prison
Towards evening, Zeng Tai sat in the second hall of the county government office, with a bundle on the table.

Zeng Tai opened it and took a look. Inside was a bloody kitchen knife and two large silver lamps.

Suddenly, the master ran in with a package in his hand, Zeng Tai frowned, and said displeasedly: "What's going on, you're in such a panic?"

The master handed the parcel in his hand to Zeng Tai, and said: "It's like this, I met a man on Wang Wu's boat today, and it was Wang Jingyang, the Uncle Xiaoyao who was newly appointed by the court last year."

Zeng Tai was taken aback: "The one who saved Di Ge's life?"

The master nodded: "Yes, but he asked me to lock him up with Zhang Chun Wang Wu, so I had no choice but to do so."

Zeng Tai frowned: "Did he say that Master Di is also in Huzhou?"

The master wiped the sweat from his brow, and said with a bitter face: "How dare you ask more questions in a lowly position!"

Zeng Tai pondered for a moment, pointed to the baggage on the table, and said: "Today I also caught a teacher named Huaiying at Zhang Chun's house. This person was caught by me, and he was calm and unhurried. He also told me about the case, could it be..."

Before I finished speaking, at this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and a middle-aged man in a green official robe ran in: "Grandpa, there is an urgent official document from the state, saying that Mr. Di Renjie, the deposed envoy, has arrived." Huzhou!"

Zeng Tai jumped up like an electric shock, and said in surprise: "What? Master Di has really arrived in Huzhou!"

Before the words were finished, a yamen servant walked in quickly and said, "Grandpa, there is a man outside the door who claims to be the fourth-rank Yingyangwei Zhonglang General, his name is Li Yuanfang, and he wants to see the grandpa."

Zeng Tai was taken aback, and lost his voice: "What?"

The catcher handed over the ivory waist badge and official certificate in his hand, Zeng Tai hurriedly took it, looked at the waist badge, there were eight characters engraved on it: "Yingyang Wei Zhonglang will be on the fourth rank".

He quickly opened the official ultimatum again, only to see that the ultimatum was stamped with a big jade seal.

Zeng Tai trembled all over, and said loudly: "Hurry up to meet him!" After speaking, he ran out of the second hall at a trot.

As the night darkened, Li Yuanfang was standing quietly in front of the county government office.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Zeng Tai led all the yamen's subordinates to rush out of the door, bowed down and said: "I don't know that the general is here, I have lost my way, and I hope the general will forgive me!"

Li Yuanfang put his hands up, and said very politely: "Your county, please."

Seeing this, Zeng Tai asked sincerely, "General Li, has Mr. Di arrived in Huzhou?"

Li Yuanfang nodded, and said: "Your Excellency, you come here with ease, and you have come here in modest clothes. It has been three days."

Hearing this, Zeng Tai's complexion became worse and worse, and his body trembled slightly: "That, that, General Li, where is your lord now?"

Li Yuanfang said: "This morning, Master Di and I were working separately. In the evening, I found that Master Di had not returned, so I came to look for it."

At this time, Zeng Tai's face was pale with fright, and he couldn't speak very quickly: "I, I have never seen Mr. Di Ge before!"

Li Yuanfang said: "Master Di's pseudonym is Huaiying, and he uses the identity of Mr. Teacher. Please inform the yamen immediately in your county, and look for it immediately!"

Zeng Tai was frightened, and stammered, "Huai, Huaiying? Mr. Teacher?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Exactly."

Zeng Tai took out a name card from his bosom, handed it tremblingly, and asked in a trembling voice: "General Li, please take a look, is this, is this something from Mr. Di Ge?"

Li Yuanfang took it over and looked at it, then raised his head suddenly, and said in surprise, "This is exactly your lord's name card, where did you get it?"

When Zeng Tai heard this, his feet went limp and he sat on the ground.

……

in prison.

Following Wang Wu's narration, such a picture flashed in Wang Wu's mind.

Late at night, the prison was pitch black and extremely silent.

Zhang Chun and Wang Wu lay on the hay and fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, a black shadow fell in front of them.

At this moment, Zhang Chun suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a masked man in black standing in front of him, looking at them quietly.

Zhang Chun reached out and stabbed Wang Wu beside him.

Wang Wu sat up abruptly, and said in a daze, "Why, what's the matter?"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he also saw the masked man.

Wang Wu opened his mouth wide in surprise, and asked tremblingly, "You, who are you?"

The masked man in black looked at Zhang Chun and Wang Wu, and said coldly: "Zhang Chun, Wang Wu, right?"

The two nodded.

The masked man in black stretched out two fingers, and said coldly: "There are two ways for you to choose: first, you will die if you confess to murder, but your parents, wives and children can live; Released from prison, then the two of you, plus your parents, wives and children, will all die, and they will die horribly!"

Zhang Chun and Wang Wu looked blankly at the masked man in black, without saying a word.

The masked man in black looked at the two and asked coldly, "What? Don't you believe me?"

As soon as the words were finished, a money dart appeared in the hands of the masked man in black. There was a flash of cold light, and there was a "squeak" from the corner of the wall.

Zhang Chun and Wang Wu didn't know why, so they turned their heads and saw that a mouse was nailed to the corner of the wall by a money dart, and died after struggling a few times.

Seeing such a horrific scene, Zhang Chun's upper and lower teeth collided with each other, and Wang Wu was so frightened that his ass was wet.

The masked man in black said coldly: "Trust me, I can say it, I can do it!"

Speaking of this, Wang Wu's mouth trembled violently, speaking incoherently: "Then, he, he, he..."

Wang Wu couldn't go on.

Seeing this, Di Renjie hurriedly asked, "How is he?"

Zhang Chun came back to his senses, sighed, and said, "Let me tell the story. After saying those words, he told us how to plead guilty in court the next day, and asked us to repeat it. just left."

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other and nodded.

At this time, Wang Wu said sadly: "At this time, the villain realized that it turned out that we were asked to take the blame for others."

As he spoke, Wang Wu burst into tears.

After hearing what the two had said, Di Renjie said with fire in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will never stand by and watch this kind of thing happen!"

Wang Mang comforted: "Don't worry, my master will definitely make decisions for you."

Zhang Chun sighed again: "Oh, you are also in this prison now, how can you help us?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Don't worry, my master has already passed on your words to the local land, and the county magistrate will invite our master and apprentice out in a short time."

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of noisy footsteps outside the prison. After getting closer, it turned out that Zeng Tai and Li Yuanfang led the officials of Huzhou County and came rushing.

As soon as Zeng Tai ran to the prison, he fell to his knees with a "plop" and hit his head on the ground with a "bang bang" sound. He said sadly: "You deserve ten thousand deaths for your humble job, you deserve ten thousand deaths for your crimes!"

Zhang Chun and Wang Wu flinched in fright.

Di Renjie and Wang Mang stood up, Di Renjie smiled and said, "Your County, please get up."

Zeng Tai was so frightened that he trembled all over, kowtowed again and again: "The lowly official has eyes but no eyes, and acts recklessly! Please punish me!"

Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie who was locked in the prison, his face darkened, and he said coldly: "Don't open the prison door yet!"

Zeng Tai was startled, and then he came back to his senses, turned his head and shouted at the jailer behind him: "Bastard, what are you doing standing there, you still don't open the cell door!"

The jailer woke up like a dream, and opened the door of the cell as quickly as possible.

Di Renjie walked out unhurriedly, followed by Wang Mang.
