Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 97 Chasing and Killing
Outside the woods, Li Yuanfang and Wang Mang ran stumblingly, followed by a group of men in black chasing after them.

In the blink of an eye, he had already caught up.

A man in black running in the front flicked his wrist, and a money dart was shot out quickly, and it was nailed to Li Yuanfang's leg. Li Yuanfang groaned and fell heavily to the ground.

Wang Mang ignored Li Yuanfang, quickened his pace, and rushed away.

The people in black swarmed forward, slashing down with knives, blood splattered all over the place.

Suddenly, a man in black uttered an exclamation: "He is not Li Yuanfang!"

When everyone heard the words, they immediately stopped.

The yelling man in black turned over the body of "Li Yuanfang", and it was their companions who came into view!

I saw that this person had a cloth stuffed in his mouth, his hands were tied behind his back, and he was wearing Li Yuanfang's cloak outside.

He stared at the companions in front of him with terrified eyes.

The man in black grabbed his gag and asked, "Where are Li Yuanfang and Wang Jingyang?"

Fake Li Yuanfang said: "One, one is, in the woods, the other ran, ran away"

The man in black asked angrily, "Then why are you running?"

Fake Li Yuanfang pointed at the direction Wang Mang was leaving and stammered, "He said that if I stop, he will kill me with a hidden weapon!"

The man in black slapped him hard: "You bastard! You've been fooled, go back!"

Another killer pointed to Wang Mang in front and said, "Where is that person?"

The man in black thought for a while and said, "The second team will go after the one in front, and the rest will go back with me."

……

In the dense forest, the purple-robed man shouted, "Go to hell!"

Raise the knife to kill Yingyu.

Suddenly, a shout of "Low your head!" came from behind, Yingyu's legs gave way in fright, and she fell to her knees with a "plop", and the purple-robed man's knife immediately disappeared.

The purple-robed man was taken aback.

It was too late, but soon, a gust of cold wind came from behind, and the purple-robed man subconsciously dodged to the side and fell to the ground.

Although the purple-robed man flashed fast, a wound was cut on the chest of the purple-robed man by the point of the knife.

Li Yuanfang took the opportunity to drag Yingyu to the back of the dense forest.

At this time, the purple-robed man slowly got up from the ground while clutching his wound.

After a while, the rest of the men in black turned around and rushed back to the woods.

The purple-robed man covered his wound and roared, "Chasing, chasing! Kill them!"

Li Yuanfang dragged Yingyu and galloped through the woods, while the killers behind him chased after him.

Seeing that the woods had come to an end, Li Yuanfang suddenly grabbed Yingyu, and the two of them stopped.

It turned out that there was a cliff in front of me, and it was pitch black underneath, and I couldn't see anything.

Yingyu looked at the cliff in front of her, and asked a little at a loss: "What, what should I do?"

Li Yuanfang turned around and looked back, the killers were rapidly approaching.

He gritted his teeth sharply and shouted, "Jump!"

Yingyu was stunned for a moment, and asked incredulously, "What?"

Li Yuanfang shouted: "Jump down!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Yingyu and jumped down. After a long time, there was a "plop" sound from below.

At this time, the people in black rushed to the edge of the cliff, and the people in purple also chased after them.

A man in black said: "They jumped down!"

The purple-robed man said bitterly: "Let them run away again!"

The man in black said, "Below is the Cuiping River."

The purple-robed man said to the black-clothed man beside him: "Immediately order people to search along the river, if you want to see people if you live, if you want to see corpses if you die!"

The man in black agreed, and then he led the people away quickly.

outside the woods.

Wang Mang escaped from the man in black's pursuit by relying on his superb lightness kung fu, and sneaked back to the small courtyard where the man in purple lived.

After a long time, the purple-robed man returned to the courtyard angrily with several black-clothed men.

Liu Charlie heard the noise, and hurried up to meet him.

Liu Charlie asked eagerly: "How are you, have you caught them?"

The purple-robed man shook his head.

Liu Charlie tremblingly said: "If they are allowed to return to Liujiazhuang, it will be a big disaster!"

The purple-robed man snorted angrily: "It's you who broke the big deal. If you didn't lure Li Yuanfang and Wang Jingyang here, how could you expose this place. It's really not enough to succeed, but more than to fail!"

Liu Chali explained: "Who would have thought that Wang Jingyang would have sneaked into the cave, and who would have thought that he, they would be able to find the exit! Otherwise..."

The purple-robed man waved his hand and interrupted Liu Chali's words: "What's the use of talking about it now! It seems that Cuiping Mountain can't stay here any longer, so move it immediately!"

……

In Liujiazhuang, the night wind howled. There were more than a dozen horses in front of the village gate, and the prince's guards stood quietly around.

The prince held Di Renjie's hand tightly: "Mr. Ge, everything depends on you!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, the old minister will definitely do his best!"

The crown prince got on his horse, and Di Renjie bowed to the ground: "Your Highness, take care all the way!"

The prince cupped his hands, put on the hood, and whipped the whip.

The war horse neighed long and fled away.

Di Renjie looked at the back of the prince leaving, let out a long breath, turned around and said to Di Chun: "Bring up Liu Da!"

In the main hall of Liujiazhuang, the imperial guard escorted Liu Da into the room.

Di Renjie put down the teacup in his hand, coughed lightly, and waved his hands: "Untie!"

The guard untied Liu Da's binding rope.

Liu Da patted the dust off his body, and looked up at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down!"

Liu Da sat down with a bit of arrogance and hummed.

Di Renjie waved his hands at the guards: "Go down!"

The guards responded, exited the main hall, and closed the door.

After the guards had left, Di Renjie asked, "Da Liu, there are only two of us now, so you don't have to go around in circles. Tell me, what are you internal guards doing in Liu's Village?"

Liu Da said arrogantly: "Di Renjie, as the Chancellor of the court, you should understand that no one has the right to interrogate the inner guard except the emperor."

Di Renjie nodded: "That's a good word. But, what can prove your identity as an inner guard? Is there an official document or someone willing to come forward to prove it? Could it be just the plum blossom on your left shoulder?"

Liu Da was taken aback for a while, and then said: "Isn't this enough?"

Di Renjie smiled deeply: "It's enough to say enough, and it's not enough to say it's not enough."

Liu Da frowned: "What do you mean?"

Di Renjie said: "It means that the initiative is completely in my hands. If I say you are an internal guard, you are, and if I say you are not, you are not. I can completely pretend to be confused and convict you as an ordinary murderer. You will be executed within a few days. Do you believe this?"

Liu Da put away his haughty expression, sweated coldly, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will ask about it in the future?"

Di Renjie said coldly: "Your inner guards are usually very powerful, but this time, you secretly disguised yourself as an ambush. This shows that the emperor does not want others to know about this matter. Therefore, if the emperor asks about it in the future, I will just say I don’t know, her old man can only be dumb and eat coptis. And you, you’re dead in vain!”

Liu Da's complexion suddenly turned pale.

Di Renjie asked: "How is it? Have you thought it through?"

After a long time, Liu Da took a deep breath: "What do you want to know?"

Di Renjie said in a deep voice, "All plans!"

Liu Da pondered for a moment, and said, "I can only tell you that Huzhou County was completely monitored by the internal guards a year ago!"

Di Renjie was taken aback: "All monitoring? Why?"

Liu Da said: "Of course there is a reason. Now, there are our people everywhere in Huzhou County! Therefore, I would like to advise my lord that it is best not to intervene in the case handled by the inner guard, otherwise you will burn yourself!"

Suddenly, Di Renjie raised his head and asked, "Your goal is to target the prince, right?"

Liu was shocked and said, "How do you know?"

Di Renjie smiled inscrutably: "I know far more than you think!"

Liu Daqing coughed: "You are right, then you should understand who ordered this matter."

Di Renjie swallowed, and said softly, "Your Majesty."

Liu Da nodded: "Yes, I still say the same thing, for your own safety, you should immediately give up the investigation and leave Huzhou."

Di Renjie asked back: "Ignore the prince?"

Liu Da sneered: "The prince is finished!"

Di Renjie asked in surprise, "What did you say?"

Liu Da shook his head: "Okay, I've said enough. Go on, even if you are willing to let me go, the emperor will not let me go."
