The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2254
Di Renjie guessed that those two people were sent out by the palace, because they were able to run unimpeded in Chang'an City under the curfew at night, plus they were able to open the gate of Chang'an City and send themselves out of the city. It's not easy, except for the people in the palace, no one can do this, not even the prime minister of the current dynasty.

The only one who can open the gates of Chang'an City under curfew is the emperor's handbook.

Di Renjie thought in his heart that the person who secretly protected him must have been sent by His Majesty.

In this way, Di Renjie felt at ease. In this case, his personal safety would be fine. As for His Majesty, His Majesty should also stop the chaos in Chang'an City now. Yes, His Majesty should have a good idea, and he is waiting for a certain day when he will gather up these cases and submit them directly in the Xuanzheng Palace in front of all civil and military officials.

"In any case, as long as your lord is safe." Xu Zhengqing said with a smile: "Seeing that your lord is safe and sound, the big stone in the subordinate's heart has finally been removed. Last night, I was able to suppress the official." Can't even breathe."

Di Renjie laughed.

"Zhengqing, Zhengqing, you can't do this. You have to have this kind of attitude if you don't change your color before the collapse of Mount Tai. In two or three years in the future, you will also be the one who is alone." Di Renjie said.

Xu Zhengqing is a talent, he will not be a lifelong striker by Di Renjie's side, Xu Zhengqing will be promoted sooner or later, and will stand in the Hanyuan Hall sooner or later, it's just a matter of time, depending on the person's ability, Di Renjie is still some.

It's just that Xu Zhengqing is still too immature now, and he needs to practice for a while. When he has been an official for a long time and has a deep understanding of officialdom, that is the time for Xu Zhengqing to make a fortune.

As for Di Renjie himself, he wouldn't think so much about himself. In Di Renjie's eyes, there was only Datang and the case.

Only by doing well the things within one's own responsibilities can you live up to the world, your parents, your teachers and elders, and yourself.

This is Di Renjie's belief in life. As for getting promoted and getting rich, Di Renjie doesn't take it so seriously.

"Zhengqing, what clues did you find about Wang Zhu?" Di Renjie asked.

"The news is still coming in continuously, and I will let them gather all the news here." Xu Zhengqing said.

Di Renjie originally wanted to refuse to come, this is a prison cell after all, but after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to solve the case.

"Before returning to Dali Temple, I went to Wang Zhu's house." Di Renjie said.

Di Renjie told Xu Zhengqing everything he saw and felt at Wang Zhu's house, including the conversation he had with the old man on Xishi Street and the news he learned from the old man.

"Wang Zhu's wife is a native of Chang'an, so the two of them are not in Chang'an City, nor are they going back to their parents' home or something," Xu Zhengqing said.

"Are you sure?" Di Renjie asked.

"It's natural. Wang Zhu is from Chang'an. The three generations of his ancestors are all from Chang'an. He will not find a wife from other places to marry back." Xu Zhengqing said: "Besides, we only need to investigate this matter. Once you check your household registration, you will know, so the news must not be fake."

"The whereabouts of Wang Zhu's wife and children have to be investigated carefully. Maybe if we find Wang Zhu's wife and children, we will know why Wang Zhu sacrificed his life to do this." Di Renjie said. .

"Your Excellency's words are reasonable, I'll let someone investigate." Xu Zhengqing said.

Wang Zhu committed suicide. When the people from Dali Temple went to Wang Zhu’s house, Wang Zhu had already hung himself from the beam by a rope. After the people from Dali Temple carried the body away, the rope was also taken away. , so when Di Renjie went to Wang Zhu's house, he didn't see the rope that Wang Zhu hanged himself from.

Thinking about it now, the stool that fell on the ground should have been stepped on by Wang Zhu when he hanged himself.

When Di Renjie saw it, he thought it was Wang Zhu who drank at home and was depressed, so he vented his anger with a stool, and then committed suicide.

His inferences are not [-]% correct.

The people in Dali Temple acted quickly, some went to ask Wang Zhu's neighbors, some went to check on Wang Zhu's wife and children, and some went to the Jinwuwei camp to ask about the people who patrolled the street last night. Nothing suspicious was seen.

Di Renjie waited quietly in the cell for all the news to come.

"My lord, someone died again in Chang'an City." The guard from Dali Temple came to the door of Di Renjie's cell and said.

"What? Someone died again. Who was it?" Di Renjie asked.

There are millions of people in Chang'an City, and people die every day, but if the guards find out and feel the need to tell Di Renjie, it must have something to do with what happened last night.

"Chang'an Ling received a report early in the morning. The person who reported the report said that a dead person was found in the well at the entrance of the street." , One of them was still holding on to the rope tightly, and he seemed to want to climb up, but he couldn't, this murder case was a bit weird, so Chang'an Order reported it to Dali Temple."

"Have you found out the identities of those two people?" Di Renjie asked.

"Not yet, but I have already experienced the time of death, from midnight last night to early morning today." The guard said, "However, judging from the clothes of those two people, it must have something to do with what happened last night. He was wearing night clothes."

"The time is right." Di Renjie squinted his eyes and said in a low voice.

If the guards of Dali Temple had fought with the assassins last night, they should be able to identify the two corpses if they were the ones who wanted to kill Di Renjie. He was sent by His Majesty to protect him.

Where would he find someone to identify the body?

Wang Zhu is dead, and the person who came to the cell to kill him is also dead. The people behind this are really ruthless and decisive in their actions, leaving no clues for him. Even if he wants to investigate, there is no way to investigate.

Di Renjie can only pin his hopes on Wang Zhu's wife and children now. Maybe he can get some useful clues from them. It is not known whether Wang Zhu's wife and children know that Wang Zhu is gone.

Di Renjie sighed secretly, originally the matter was figured out, it was very simple, but with so many lives involved, Di Renjie's mood was a bit complicated.
