Chapter 1

Wu Zhou, the first year of Dazu

Under the protection of Qianniuwei, a carriage was slowly driving on the official road to Luoyang, the capital of God.

The identity of the people in the carriage must be extraordinary if they can be escorted by Qianniuwei, a relative of the emperor.

Inside the carriage, an old man with a kind face was closing his eyes and meditating. The bumps of the carriage did not disturb his train of thought at all.

This person is exactly Wu Zhou's well-known figure of a generation - Di Renjie.

But compared to the prime minister, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, he also has a more legendary identity--a detective.

It is rumored that during his tenure as the prime minister of Dali Temple, he dealt with a large backlog of cases within a year, involving as many as [-] people.

Not long ago, he was relegated to Pengze County by Empress Wu Zetian because of being framed by the cruel official Lai Junchen. He was revoked because of an imperial decree, and embarked on the journey back to the capital of God.

In the past ten years, Wuzhou and the Turks fought endlessly, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.

Therefore, Jili Khan and his younger brother Shibi Khan, the main peace faction in the Turks, decided to send a mission to Wuzhou to discuss peace talks.

Unexpectedly, the mission was robbed and killed by gangsters on the way, and the entire army was wiped out except for the captain of the guard, Li Yuanfang, who was nowhere to be found.

Not only that, after the gangsters robbed and killed the mission, they pretended to be a mission and came to Wuzhou, killing Li Qingxia, the owner of Yiyang County who was sent to Turkic marriage.

The majestic Heavenly Kingdom was actually manipulated by a group of gangsters, and Wu Zetian's face was instantly swept away.

In order to thoroughly investigate the case and find out the real culprit behind the scenes, Wu Zetian decided to recover the relegated Di Renjie.

At this moment, Di Renjie was thinking about the clues to the killing of the mission.

He was closing his eyes and meditating, when he suddenly heard a free and unrestrained singing——

Zhao Keman and Hu Ying, Wu Goushuang Xueming.

The silver saddle illuminates the white horse, rustling like a meteor.

Kill ten people in ten steps, and stay in a thousand miles.

Hello.

Leisurely drink Xinling, take off the sword knee and cross.

Will Zhi Zhu Hai, hold on to persuade Hou Ying.

Three cups of Turanuo, Wuyue is light.

After the dazzling ears are hot, the mood is suddenly born.

Handan was first shocked when he rescued Zhao with a gold gavel.

Qianqiu two strong men, Xuhe Daliang city.

It is not ashamed to be a hero in the world.

Who can book your Excellency, the Baishou Taixuan Sutra.

Good verse!So bold!
Di Renjie subconsciously praised.

The verses are catchy, the diction is grand and magnificent, and the allusions are precise and accurate, which vividly describes the image of a hero who promises money and is full of heroism!
However, Di Renjie never imagined that the author of the poem he was full of praise for would not be born until a year later.

And the person who recited this poem naturally did not belong to this era.

This person's name is Shen Youzhi, who was originally a college student more than 1000 years later, and was reincarnated into this world by chance.

At this moment, he was riding his horse with his sword and reciting the song "Xia Ke Xing Xing", but he actually stopped in front of the imperial guards!

"Hey! Who are you? How dare you intercept the imperial guards!"

The captain of the guard drew out the long knife at his waist, and shouted at Shen Youzhi angrily.

This road is an official road, although ordinary people can also walk, but if they encounter tolerance, they must consciously give way, otherwise it will be a crime of disrespect.

The person in front of him not only refused to give way, but even blocked his horse. He was really ruthless!
"Since it is an imperial guard, is there an imperial envoy in the carriage?"

Shen Youzhi ignored the captain's anger and asked calmly.

At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by an old hand, and a benevolent old man poked his head out and asked, "What's going on? Why did the carriage stop?"

Seeing this, the guard at the side immediately explained: "Lord Di, someone is blocking the advance of the guard!"

Afterwards, he hurriedly said: "My lord, wait a moment, and he will be brought to justice in the end!"

"Hey! Don't make mistakes."

Seeing that the guards were about to use their weapons, Di Renjie immediately stopped him.

He knew that if there was no way out, ordinary people would never dare to stop the imperial envoy from driving.

Even bandits who rob the way will not be stupid enough to commit crimes in the official way.

Behavior like this is mostly to avenge grievances.

Di Renjie turned his head to look at the person blocking the drive, and saw that he was only in his twenties, dressed in black, with a handsome face, holding a sword at his waist, and sitting on a white horse with a silver saddle, exactly in line with the sentence in the poem " The silver saddle shines on the white horse."

What a high-spirited young ranger!
Di Renjie praised in his heart.

It is this person who thinks that he just recited poems.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie appreciated the visitor a little more.

Those who can write such poems and essays must be those who have a deep heart and are a hero.

"Young man, why did you stop the imperial guard?" Di Renjie asked curiously.

Shen Youzhi looked at the legendary detective, the well-known Di Renjie, and suddenly felt a sense of a world away.

"Are you an imperial envoy?"

Shen Youzhi collected his attention and asked knowingly.

"Hehehe." Di Renjie smiled when he heard this, and replied: "Yes, the old man is an imperial envoy.

If you have any grievances, you can speak up. "

He still thought that the person in front of him had been wronged, so he stopped him.

"Since I'm an imperial envoy, I have a pleading paper here, I don't know if you dare to accept it!"

Shen Youzhi said provocatively.

Although he knew that with Di Renjie's character, he would definitely accept this pleading paper.

But right now he is playing a ranger, and he doesn't know Di Renjie, so he naturally has to act arrogant.

When Di Renjie heard someone asking him, "Do you dare to take it?", he guessed most of it in his heart——

The person sued by this pleading paper must be either rich or expensive, and ordinary officials would avoid it!
However, is Di Renjie an ordinary person?
"Why don't you show me the pleading paper first, and then I'll give you an answer after reading it, how about it?" Di Renjie replied.

He didn't agree immediately, but was going to read the pleadings before making a decision.

"it is good!"

Shen Youzhi replied bluntly.

Then he took out the pleading paper from his pocket and threw it to Di Renjie's guards.

The guard took the pleading paper and handed it to Di Renjie after confirming that there was no problem.

Di Renjie unfolded the paper and read it carefully.

Unexpectedly, the more he looked at it, the more shocked and angry he became, and his originally kind face suddenly became dignified and solemn.

Although he had already guessed that the person suing this pleading paper was either rich or noble, Di Renjie was still shocked when he saw the content——

Ying Wang Yuanqi colluded with Yangzhou officials and withheld the salary of the waterworkers, causing the waterworkers to riot and almost triggering a civil uprising.

Not only that, but the pleadings also clearly recorded that Yuan Qi raised quack killers, intercepted and massacred the people who tried to appeal.

Di Renjie hated corrupt officials the most in his life, and he hated officials who oppressed good people the most.

This paper completely aroused the anger in his heart.

If these officials were standing in front of him at this moment, he would definitely punish this group of corrupt officials with their corpses!
More importantly, it records that Ying Wang Yuanqi raised Jianghu killers to massacre the common people.

A prince secretly supporting thousands of desperate killers, this is a crime of treason, enough to destroy nine clans!
If it was normal, Di Renjie would definitely let this matter go straight to heaven.

But now, he can't do it.

Because compared with the internal affairs of the Wu Zhou Dynasty, the mission case involving the diplomatic relations between Wu Zhou and the Turks is more imminent.

This is a major case that concerns the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the two countries and cannot be delayed.

Therefore, even if there was overwhelming anger in his heart, Di Renjie could only force it down, raised his head and said to Shen Youzhi: "You are such an idiot, this old man will take over!"

"Really?!" Shen Youzhi said immediately.

"One word from a gentleman, four horses are hard to chase!" Di Renjie replied.

"Good!" Shen Youzhi praised, "You are a good official! I have traveled to more than a dozen counties, and you are the only one who dares to accept this pleading paper!"

"Hehehe." Di Renjie smiled again, and said, "But right now I have important things to do, so I don't have time to spare.

I have to wait until I finish the matter at hand before accepting your case. "

Shen Youzhi frowned after hearing this, as if he didn't believe what he said.

Di Renjie also knew that this remark seemed to be a prevarication, so he said: "If you don't believe me, why not just stay with me for now, how about it?"

Shen Youzhi thought for a long time, and finally replied: "That's good! I'll wait for you to finish the work first!"

"Okay! This old man is going to Jiangzhang County ahead, so let's go together!"

After Di Renjie finished speaking, he lowered the curtain.

Shen Youzhi also consciously got out of the way and let the imperial guards go forward, while he silently followed behind the team.

The first step of the plan has finally been achieved!

Shen Youzhi thought silently in her heart.

"Young man, I don't know your name yet?"

Di Renjie in the sedan chair suddenly asked.

"I'm sinking and worrying about it."

Shen Youzhi replied while driving the horse.

"Worry, from your accent, you are from Yangzhou, right?" Di Renjie said again.

"good."

Shen Youzhi lied.

He is not actually from Yangzhou, and his accent is deliberately imitated.

"So, the things recorded in this pleadings were witnessed with your own eyes?" Di Renjie continued to ask.

"Indeed." Shen Youzhi nodded.

This is not a lie, he has indeed been to Yangzhou, and he has indeed met those waterworkers who were forced to die.

"I remember, you said it just now." Di Renjie said, "You said you went to more than a dozen states and counties, but you couldn't send this paper out?"

"That's right." Shen Youzhi replied: "I have been to all the prefectures and counties near Yangzhou, and none of the yamen dare to accept this pleading paper."

Immediately, he added: "To tell you the truth, on the way down, dozens of Yuan Qi's killers have been killed, and only then did they get rid of their stalking and hunting."

"So that's how it is." Di Renjie said with emotion: "This matter involves a lot, so it's no wonder those local officials dare not intervene easily."

After all, Yuan Qi is the King Ying who was proclaimed by the emperor himself. Who would dare to provoke him by ordinary local officials?
"I haven't asked you yet, my lord." Shen Youzhi pretended not to know, and asked.

Di Renjie chuckled: "The old man's surname is Di, and his name is Renjie."

Shen Youzhi was "surprised" when he heard the words: "You are Di Gong?!"

"Not bad." Di Renjie said with a smile.

"No wonder you always dare to accept this pleading paper!" Shen Youzhi said with some "excitement", "It is said that Di Gong is an upright and upright official.

Now it seems that the rumors are true! "

"Hehe, this is nothing more than the love of the world." Di Renjie said modestly: "For an official, as long as he has a heart of heaven and loves the people, he is worthy of the brocade robe on his body!"

Having said that, there are as many officials in the world as sturgeons crossing the river, and how many people are able to win the love of the people and even set up shrines for them?
"What Di Gong said is true." Shen Youzhi immediately said: "Since we met by fate today, but Di Gong has a errand, I will go through fire and water, and I will do my best!"

"Hahaha." Di Renjie laughed and said, "Then you are in time.

Right now there is a big event that needs manpower, if you are willing to help, that would be great. "

"Go ahead and give orders!" Shen Youzhi said without hesitation.

"No hurry." Di Renjie said inscrutablely: "I will tell you when the time comes."

Shen Youzhi should claim it is.

It seems that Di Renjie still doesn't trust me.

Shen Youzhi thought in his heart.

This is not surprising, no one would easily believe a ranger who came out halfway.

Especially at this sensitive time.

The case of the mission has just happened, and all the mysteries have not yet been solved. How could Di Renjie be defenseless against a gangster he just met?
He kept himself by his side, apart from the pleading paper, most likely he also wanted to examine himself.

If he is really plotting evil, an enemy under his surveillance is far easier to deal with than an enemy hidden in the dark.

But, time will tell everything.

Before Shen Youzhi's plan came to the final step, his and Di Renjie's interests were highly consistent.

At least for now, he will do his best to help Di Renjie solve the envoy mystery case.

Because only in this way can Di Renjie get away to deal with the Yangzhou case and help him deal with Ying Wang Yuanqi.
