Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 77 The Bee Plan ([-])
In the middle of the night, a carriage drove out from Liujiazhuang and headed straight for the county seat.

In the cell of the county government dungeon.

Liu Charlie sat on the bed covered with hay, staring at the light of the little oil lamp on the table in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cell.

Liu Charlie looked up, and it turned out that a man wearing a black hooded cloak came in.

Liu Charlie asked in surprise, "You, who are you?"

With a "snap", the hood was removed, and Liu Charlie could see the face of the visitor clearly.

Liu Zhali said in surprise, "Master Di!"

Di Renjie nodded: "How about it, have you thought about it, don't you really want to say something else?"

Liu Zhali hesitated to speak, opened his mouth, but still did not speak.

Di Renjie said: "Okay, let me tell the story, what did you see in the garden?"

Liu Charlie was startled, and blurted out: "How do you know?"

Di Renjie said: "Tell me!"

Liu Charlie opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

Di Renjie sighed and shook his head: "Your wife has already told this pavilion. Hey! You are really a face-saving person."

Liu Charlie asked in surprise, "What did she say?"

Di Renjie said: "She told me everything, including the fact that you saw the young master molesting her in the garden."

Liu Chali said with embarrassment: "My lord, my lord, please stop talking, the grass people only want to die."

Di Renjie sighed, "It's no wonder that you want to kill me because of such a tragic change in human relations. Liu Zhali, do you understand that I am saving you?"

Liu Charlie raised his head.

Di Renjie continued: "If you can prove that the son molested your stepmother, then, according to the law of this dynasty, you are not guilty of death."

With a "plop", Liu Zhali knelt down on the ground and cried out.

After finishing speaking, Di Renjie turned around and left.

Liu Zhali raised his head in a daze, Di Renjie had already walked away.

……

At the same time, a black shadow sprang out from Wang Mang's room, passing through the pavilion and flower garden in a few ups and downs.

Heiying slowly opened the door of Liu Chuanlin's room, walked to the desk with ease, carefully pried up a piece of the floor, took out a book from his arms, and put it in its original place.

The man in black looked around, but there was no one there. He let out a long breath and carefully restored the floor.

Soon, he left quietly.

When he returned to the room, he didn't find that his actions were noticed by a pair of eyes.

……

In the early morning, a carriage drove into Liujiazhuang.

The main hall of Liujiazhuang.

Li Yuanfang handed Di Renjie a towel, and Di Renjie picked it up and wiped his face.

Li Yuanfang said with concern: "My lord, you haven't slept all night, take a rest!"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "When people get old, they sleep less. The reason why I didn't call you and Jing Yang last night is to let you have a rest."

Li Yuanfang smiled embarrassedly: "Sir, if you say that, then Jingyang and I will be even more embarrassed."

Li Yuanfang seemed to think of something and hesitated for a while.

Di Renjie watched Li Yuanfang's expression with eagle eyes, and asked, "Yuanfang, what do you want to say?"

Li Yuanfang said, "Jing Yang, he..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, Li Yuanfang moved his ears and stopped talking.

Di Renjie looked up and Wang Mang walked in. Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie wiping his face and asked, "My lord, if you don't rest all night, can your body handle it?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "No problem!"

Wang Mang asked: "My lord, did you interrogate Liu Chali last night, did you get any results?"

Di Renjie said: "It's almost the same as what Madam Yingyu said."

Li Yuanfang interjected, "My lord, can the case be closed?"

Di Renjie's eyes lit up, and he murmured, "Close the case! Yes, close the case!"

At this moment, Li Yuanfang was puzzled instead: "The case is really closed?"

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Brother Yuanfang, do you still remember the case of Zhang Chun and Wang Wu?"

Li Yuanfang suddenly realized: "You mean, the case was closed falsely."

Wang Mang nodded: "My lord wants them to move on their own!"

Di Renjie nodded approvingly: "Jing Yang, go tell Zeng Tai and ask him to tell his wife that Liu Chali was released without charge. You also pack up, and let's go back to Huzhou."

Wang Mang nodded and walked out.

After Wang Mang left, Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang. Li Yuanfang thought about it and said, "Jing Yang didn't go out last night."

Di Renjie took a deep look at Li Yuanfang and nodded.

……

In the Huzhou county government office, Di Renjie was sitting in the second hall, while Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai were talking in low voices.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Liu Chali walked in following a yamen servant.

Liu Cha paid his respects and said, "Liu Cha, a grassroots man, pays his respects to your lord."

Di Renjie gave him a little support, and said, "Liu Sinong, please stand up."

Liu Chali thanked him, stood up, and asked, "My lord, I wonder why you asked me to come?"

Di Renjie said: "This time I called you here to let you go back."

"What? Let me go back?"

Liu Charlie raised his head and said in surprise.

Di Renjie nodded: "Exactly! It was Madam's words that moved me so deeply that I decided to let you go back."

Liu Charlie was taken aback: "Madam?"

Di Renjie said: "Yes, your own son is unworthy. Unexpectedly, your new wife understands righteousness. I have already discussed with the county magistrate Zeng. Although your behavior is extreme, it is sympathetic and sympathetic. Yuan, and you are already old, so you won't be punished."

Liu Charlie immediately burst into tears, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my lords!"

Zeng Tai said: "If you want to thank, thank your wife!"

Liu Charlie nodded again and again: "Yes, yes!"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "How did Liu Si Nong get married to a girl from a brothel?"

Li Yuanfang said: "I am also very curious, what is going on?"

Liu Chali looked at the servants around him, and said embarrassedly: "This, this"

Di Renjie waved his hand and said to the yamen servants, "Go down!"

After the servants left,

Liu Zhali pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm ashamed to say that it was a coincidence. A month ago, Cao Min went to the state to do business. Before leaving, a friend insisted on dragging me to the lake to enjoy the moon."

Such a picture flashed in Liu Charlie's mind.

A small boat was rippling in the middle of the lake, and Liu Charlie and a few friends sat around the table, talking in low voices.

Suddenly, there was a sound of piano and low singing on the surface of the water. The sound was mellow and ethereal, looming, and it appeared unusually mysterious and graceful in the quiet night of the lake.

Liu Zhali was taken aback, and asked, "Where did this sound come from? Could it be that there are immortals in the lake?"

A friend said: "Go, go and see!"

Several people came to the bow, only to see a big boat looming in the mist.

Liu Zhali said with a smile: "I never thought that Liu Zhali, who is past sixty years old, would still meet a fairy."

A friend said: "I have long heard that there are immortals in the lake, and I don't want to see them today."

The breeze blew away some water mist. The big boat was surrounded by red gauze tents. Candles were lit inside the boat. A slim figure was reflected on the red gauze, moving slightly, plucking the strings.

Liu Zhali couldn't help being infatuated, and praised: "The lake fairy descends to earth!"

The friend nodded and said to the boatman, "Roll the boat over."

The boatman picked up the penny, and the boat quickly approached the big boat. In a blink of an eye, it was in front of it. Liu Chali took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Liu Chali in Xiahuzhou, may I ask which fairy is on the boat?"

The sound of the piano stopped, the red curtain was raised, and a little maid came out and asked, "What did you say, official?"

Liu Charlie said: "Which fairy is playing the piano on the boat?"

The little maid said with a smile: "There is no fairy on board, it is a sister."

Liu Charlie was taken aback: "Sister?"

The little maid smiled: "Your real sister."

Liu Charlie said awkwardly: "The girl made fun of you."

A gentle voice came from inside the red tent: "Xiaohong, stop talking nonsense, and invite the officials to board the boat."

The boatman hurriedly set up the gangplank, Liu Zhali stepped onto the boat, opened the red curtain, and was immediately overwhelmed by her beauty.
