Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 8
Xiaoyang Village is not far from Jinshui County. Before dark, the carriage came to an ordinary house.

There is only one entrance to this house, and after the entrance is the main hall, with several wing rooms on each side.

"Di Feng, where is this?" Li Canghai asked.

"Oh, this is my lord's mansion." Di Feng replied with a smile.

Li Canghai glanced around in surprise, what he saw could be described as crude.If Di Feng hadn't said it, he would have thought it was a house for poor peasants.

In his impression, whoever was an official in ancient times was not wealthy, had a strong family, and no matter how poor he was, his house was magnificent. How could an official be regarded as a poor person?

"Di Feng, your lord is really...frugal!" Li Canghai laughed.

"Who says it's not? My adults can't eat well, wear good clothes, and live in good houses. The majesty of a county has to make himself worse than ordinary people." Di Feng muttered shaking his head, his face The expression on the face is very rich, both distressed and helpless.

It suddenly occurred to Li Canghai that Di Feng must be calling his family what he deserved in his heart, and even he wondered if Di Huai had a tendency to self-torture.

However, this also shows that Di Huai is indeed a good official, and it is no wonder that the old and stubborn village chief of Xiaoyang Village treats him with respect.

"My lord, let's stop talking here, let's go in, otherwise if my family finds out, I will be blamed for my lack of etiquette." Di Feng said while leading Li Canghai into the room.

In the main hall was a table for the Eight Immortals, on which were some delicate dishes. When Li Canghai came in, he saw Di Huai wearing a kitchen skirt and arranging the dishes.

Seeing Li Canghai approaching, he was a little stunned, hurried up to greet him, glared at Di Feng, and said, "You are getting more and more rude, you boy, and you didn't notify me when the guests came."

"Master Di, please don't blame me, I told him not to disturb your lord." Li Canghai saluted with a smile.

Di Huai took off the kitchen skirt, and said awkwardly: "There are not many people in the house, so I can only do the cooking by myself, it's impolite."

"What do you say adults, eat the food you cook yourself, then you can feel at ease. If I hadn't come late, I would have fried two small dishes." Li Canghai laughed loudly.

"The visitor is a guest, how can I let Brother Li cook, please sit down, Brother Li." Di Huai picked up the flagon and filled Li Canghai with wine.

Li Canghai looked around, and suddenly asked: "Lord Di, is there no one else in the house?"

"Oh, I'm going back to my mother's house. During this time, it's just me and Di Feng." Di Huai raised his glass to toast, and said, "Brother Li, don't call me my lord. I'm older than you. If you don't mind, just call me big brother."

Li Canghai didn't expect that Di Huai was also a person with a bold personality. He returned a glass of wine and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then I will call you Big Brother from now on."

The two laughed and drank a few glasses of wine, as if they were best friends they hadn't seen for a long time.

"Cang Hai, brother, I really admire you. You can solve a strange case in one day. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, there are not many people who can do it!" Di Huai couldn't help admiring after drinking a few cups.

"Brother is too famous. In fact, it was because of my good luck that I was able to solve the case by chance." Li Canghai burped.

"You know, I have solved many cases, but unjust, false and wrongly decided cases are still inevitable. As the county magistrate, I am really ashamed!" Di Huai sighed, wondering if he remembered something.

"Thinking that my dignified descendants of the Di family can't protect the country and the country, and can't find out the grievances of the people, I am ashamed of my ancestors!" Di Huai suddenly picked up the jug and drank desperately.

Li Canghai was a bit inexplicable, didn't he misjudge some cases, why did he feel sorry for his ancestors?
Di Huai stood up unsteadily, staggered into the main hall, lifted the curtain, and knelt down with a plop.

Li Canghai saw a high table behind the curtain, on which were enshrined several spiritual tablets.

Di Feng ran over early in the morning, holding the drunken Di Huai, trying to pull him up.

Li Canghai swayed over with his wine glass, at that moment, he caught a glimpse of the words on the spirit tablet, and suddenly trembled, and Jiu Jin suddenly sobered up.

He saw that the uppermost spiritual tablet in the center read: Digong Renjie's spiritual tablet!

Li Canghai's mind suddenly buzzed, Di Renjie's spirit position!

God, is Di Huai a descendant of Di Renjie?
Li Canghai couldn't help getting excited. Di Renjie was the person he admired the most. He didn't expect that he would be lucky enough to know his descendants.

An unspeakable excitement showed on his face, and he almost danced because of the wine.

Di Feng looked at the drunken Di Huai, then at Li Canghai who was so excited that he seemed to have been spat out, and sighed, "Oh my god, are they all crazy?"

At this moment, two white cloths flew in from outside the door, like spirit snakes, directly tied up the two of them.

Before Li Canghai could react, he felt his body float up suddenly, and then a burst of cold water suddenly splashed on his face.

Li Canghai woke up immediately after the cold water tossed the noodles. He hurriedly lowered his head to look, only to find that he was tied up like a rice dumpling and hung in mid-air.

Next to him was Di Huai who was also hung up.

Li Canghai was a little dazed, he wondered if he was a thief, why didn't Di Feng call out, could it be that he was also tied up?

Shaking his head vigorously, Li Canghai opened his eyes to look, and suddenly a pretty face appeared in front of his eyes.

Li Canghai yelled in fright: "There is a ghost!"Then, he raised his head and bumped into it.

That face was also taken aback by Li Canghai's yelling, he hurriedly took a few steps back, and said angrily, "You're the ghost!"

Li Canghai was stunned for a moment, why is it a female voice?

He hurriedly fixed his eyes and found a heroic young girl standing in front of him.

The girl's hair is like a waterfall, her teeth are bright and her eyes are bright, and there is a heroic look on her delicate cheeks. This is a sunny beauty that people don't want to look away from.

Li Canghai's eyes were straightened, especially since he was suspended in the air, he could easily see the faint spring light on the girl's chest, and when his nose got wet, a line of nosebleeds flowed out.

Only then did the girl realize that she was being peeped at. She hurriedly wrapped her coat, glared at Li Canghai and said, "Pervert! Don't look! Believe it or not, I'll beat you."

Li Canghai didn't like her, he shouted: "It's not what I want to see, who told you to hang me up! If you have the ability to put me down, I will fight you one-on-one!"

The girl was ashamed and angry, she gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, I want to see how capable you are!"

After the girl finished speaking, she waved her arm, and the two white collars immediately returned to the girl's sleeves.

With two pops, Li Canghai and Di Huai fell to the ground at the same time.

Whoa!

Before he could get up, another gust of cold water poured on the two of them.

Li Canghai became angry immediately, he jumped up and shouted: "Little girl, don't bully me too much!"

The girl sneered, and there was a look of contempt in her eyes.

Just when Li Canghai was rolling up his sleeves, trying to pretend to teach the girl a lesson, he saw Di Feng standing behind the girl, giving him winks, as if he was very anxious.

"Di Feng is telling me that this woman is not easy to mess with! Damn, I'm an imposing seven-foot man, will I be beaten down by a yellow-haired girl?" Thinking of this, Li Canghai immediately puffed up his chest and clenched his fists. Just waved it over.

Originally, he just wanted to pretend to teach the young girl a lesson. After all, the other party was a woman, and if he really wanted to do it, he really couldn't do it.

However, the girl just pulled it lightly and raised it again. After two simple movements, Li Canghai fell to the ground.

Li Canghai was terrified. In his previous life, he was the champion of fighting in the police academy, but he was beaten to the ground with two fingers by this girl. It was simply unbelievable!
"Huh, little sister? Why are you here?" Di Huai was sobered up after being splashed with two basins of cold water, and asked in surprise when he saw the girl.

"Little sister? Big brother, is she your little sister?" Li Canghai asked in astonishment lying on the ground.

Di Huai then shook his aching head and said, "I forgot to introduce you, she is my younger sister, and her name is Di Qing. Younger sister, this is..."

Di Huai hadn't finished speaking yet, Di Qing raised her hand and said, "No need to introduce, as this kind of rude pervert, I'll teach you a lesson, and I'll know it."

After finishing speaking, Di Qing grabbed Li Canghai's right foot and dragged him out.

Di Huai and Di Feng looked at each other in dismay, and at the same time excitedly shouted: "Little sister, be merciful!"
