Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 96
The prince sighed: "I just can't figure it out, Wu Xiaojie and Xu Shide are close friends, what happened to make such a pair of good friends turn against each other and kill each other? It's really puzzling!"

Di Renjie frowned, and asked: "Your Highness, please recall carefully, did Wu Xiaojie have any unusual actions before his death?"

The prince thought for a while, and suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Hey, if the elder Ge didn't ask, I really forgot. Five or six days before Xiaojie died, he came to see me secretly..."

Such a picture flashed in the prince's mind.

in the library.

After the prince sat on the desk, Wu Xiaojie took out a book from his pocket and handed it to the prince.

The prince casually took it, and upon seeing it turned out to be "The Story of the Blue Shirt", his expression changed: "Xiaojie, what are you doing?"

Wu Xiaojie said: "Your Highness, I have noticed something is wrong these few days."

The prince asked, "What do you mean?"

Wu Xiaojie said: "It seems that someone is following me!"

The prince was startled and said, "Is it the inner guard?"

Wu Xiaojie shook his head: "I don't know. So, I want to temporarily store this book with Your Highness."

The prince hurriedly handed the book to Wu Xiaojie, and said: "No, no. Xiaojie, listen to me and burn this book immediately to avoid future troubles. This will also stop Li Gui's thoughts!"

Wu Xiaojie pondered for a long time, then stamped his feet: "Since Your Highness said so, I will burn this book after I go back."

The prince nodded with a relaxed expression.

……

After hearing this, Di Renjie sighed and said, "It seems that he already had a premonition."

The prince nodded.

Suddenly, Di Renjie asked: "Your Highness, when did the school secretary Xu Shide come to Chongguan?"

The prince thought for a while, then shook his head: "I can't remember that."

Di Renjie nodded and asked, "Then what is your purpose for coming this time?"

The prince said: "Oh, that's right. Two months ago, I suddenly received a strange letter signed by 'Liu Chuanlin'. In the letter, he wrote: 'Li Gui is in trouble, come to Huzhou to save him quickly. .'"

"Liu Chuanlin! Your Highness, are you talking about Liu Chuanlin?"

Di Renjie exclaimed.

The prince said strangely: "Yes, oh, I brought the letter."

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.

Di Renjie quickly took a look and nodded, "That's right, it's Liu Chuanlin!"

The prince asked: "Why, Mr. Ge, do you know this person?"

Di Renjie said: "He is the son of Liu Chali!"

The prince said: "Oh? Does he know Li Gui's whereabouts?"

Di Renjie didn't answer, he was deep in thought.

The prince asked again: "He must have something to do with Li Gui. Otherwise, why would he send me such a letter?"

Di Renjie said: "Your Highness, you can continue!"

The prince nodded: "After receiving this letter, I immediately sent two guards to Huzhou to investigate the whereabouts of Xiaohong and Li Gui, but there was still no news of them.

Now, there are rumors in the capital that I have colluded with the rebellious party and intends to rebel, and the emperor even called me into the palace every few days to admonish me.

I was uneasy, not knowing what happened to Li Gui and Xiaohong.

It just so happened that the emperor was on tour these two days, so I took the opportunity to go to Huzhou to have a look.

In this way, I can also tell the whole situation to Mr. Ge, please help me find it. "

Di Renjie's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, are the two guards you sent surnamed Wu, and they pretended to be servants of the capital?"

The prince nodded: "Yes! I asked the guards to pretend to be Wu Xiaojie's family members and go to Liujiazhuang to inquire about the news. I think, first, Wu Xiaojie and Liu Chali are life-and-death friends. I will tell the truth. Second, even if the guards fall into the hands of the inner guards, they only claim that they are from the Wu Mansion, and they will not be implicated in me. Why, the elder Ge has met these two people?"

Di Renjie sighed: "They were killed more than 20 days ago!"

The prince was stunned.

Di Renjie said: "The personal maid you sent, Xiaohong, is most likely Liu Chali's new wife Yingyu. She disappeared last night."

The prince was stunned and said: "What!"

Di Renjie suddenly remembered the plum blossom tattoo, and stood up: "Your Highness, Liujiazhuang is a terrible abyss, you must not stay here! Today I have found the trace of the plum blossom inner guard in the village."

"Plum Blossom Guard!"

The prince jumped up from his chair in shock.

Di Renjie nodded: "So, for the safety of His Highness, you must return to the capital immediately!"

……

Late at night, in Cuiping Mountain.

Three figures were running fast on the mountain road, they were Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Yingyu.

A group of men in black holding torches followed closely behind.

Suddenly, a dense forest appeared ahead.

Wang Mang's eyes lit up, and he whispered to Li Yuanfang and Yingyu, "Go into the woods!"

The three rushed into the dense forest.

Behind them, the torches were getting closer and dozens of men in black stopped outside the dense forest.

At this time, a man in a purple robe and a black scarf came up from behind and asked, "Why did you stop?"

A man in black said; "Boss, they have entered the woods!"

The purple-robed man said: "They must not be far away, search carefully for me, once you find them, shoot them to death, we must not let them run away!"

"Yes!"

The people in black responded in unison, divided into several groups, and walked towards the woods holding torches.

In the woods, Wang Mang whispered a few words to Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang said in shock: "No!"

Wang Mang said: "Don't worry! With my lightness skills, even if a first-class master chases me, I can escape, but you should be more careful with Yingyu."

Li Yuanfang frowned, what else to say.

At this time, Yingyu came over and asked quietly: "What are you talking about?"

Wang Mang said, "Brother Yuanfang, remember my words."

Seeing Yingyu approaching, Li Yuanfang closed her mouth and nodded, "Jing Yang, then you should be more careful!"

Wang Mang said, "Don't worry!"

After speaking, Wang Mang quietly disappeared.

Li Yuanfang said to Yingyu: "Stay here and don't move!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanfang quietly lurked towards a man in black.

A man in black held a torch and shone around. Suddenly, his eyes blurred, and at some point, a knife was placed on his neck.

The man in black was stunned and stopped immediately.

Li Yuanfang came out from behind the tree and said softly, "Extinguish the torch!"

The man in black had to follow suit.

At this time, Yingyu on the tree watched this scene quietly.

Suddenly, her eyeballs rolled, she stretched out her hand, pulled off a branch, and threw it down the tree.

There was a "snap", although it was very light, but several killers around heard it, and they turned around at the same time and shouted: "There!"

Before she finished speaking, two figures jumped out from behind the big tree where Yingyu was hiding, and rushed out of the woods. They were Li Yuanfang and Wang Mang in clothes.

The people in black yelled, "Chase! Chase!"

Everyone jumped up and chased after Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang.

In a blink of an eye, he ran out of the woods.

Seeing this scene, Yingyu on the tree smiled.

Holding the tree trunk with both hands, she slid down quickly and said with a chuckle, "Two fools."

"This comment is not for yourself, is it?"

Yingyu was startled suddenly, her face changed drastically, she turned her head and saw the purple robed man standing behind her, looking at her quietly.

Yingyu's eyes rolled sharply, and she jumped up, suddenly felt a coldness on her neck, and a knife lay across her throat.

Yingyu was dumbfounded.
