The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 4 The Youzhou Case

Inside the inn

After several days of recuperation, Li Yuanfang's injury has almost healed.

Most of his injuries were skin wounds, and the worst part was the lack of rest in order to avoid hunting and killing for several months, so that he was physically and mentally exhausted. Now he has recuperated for three consecutive days, and he naturally regained his spirit.

Li Yuanfang, who recovered from his injuries, thought of the agreement with Shen Youzhi that day.

Li Yuanfang asked suddenly: "Brother Shen, I competed with you that night, and found that your swordsmanship is light, natural, natural, and quite like everyone else. I don't know what school you came from?"

He prides himself on his extraordinary martial arts, even if he is not number one in the world, he is definitely among the top five.

But that night when he broke into the crimson tent, Shen Youzhi was able to subdue him within ten breaths. Although he was seriously injured and exhausted at that time, he could also see that Shen Youzhi's martial arts were not easy.

"Brother Yuanfang is too much." Shen Youzhi smiled and said, "I don't have any teacher background, I only learned martial arts from my family."

He lied.

In fact, Shen Youzhi's internal strength is the orthodox Taoist Daoyin technique, and his swordsmanship is also the orthodox Xuanmen swordsmanship.

In the past 20 years, he, a "Daoist", has not only read Daozang.

It's just that he has already mastered those martial arts and turned them into his own, so the use of them is natural and unique, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see his martial arts foundation.

When Li Yuanfang heard that he said it was a family tradition, he didn't ask any more questions.

After all, this is no surprise.

There are countless rangers in the Jianghu, all of whom have learned the unique skills passed down from their families.

"To be honest." Li Yuanfang said again: "When I left my division to join the army, my master said that my martial arts can at least rank among the top five in the world.

Since I joined the army, I have experienced hundreds of battles, big and small, and my sword skills and internal skills have improved a lot.

The opponent who can surprise me, Brother Shen, you are the first! "

Vipers don't count.

Because Viper was a sneak attack, and he was in charge of guarding at that time, so he couldn't fight with all his strength.

If it was a one-on-one fight alone, Li Yuanfang felt that he would not lose to Viper.

"Brother Yuan Fang is too modest." Shen Youzhi said: "With your martial arts, at least you can enter the top three in the world.

If you weren't seriously injured and exhausted that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to defeat you. "

Looking at the Detective series, there are only a few people like Yuan Qi and Hui Wenzhong who can compete with Li Yuanfang.

Although at this time his martial arts are not yet perfect, the only one who can say that he is sure to beat him is Ying Wang Yuanqi.

Li Yuanfang shook his head and said: "Brother Shen, your swordsmanship has become a family of its own, and you have the air of a master.

Based on this alone, your martial arts will never be inferior to mine!

Even if I compete with you in my heyday, the outcome is still a matter of fifty or five! "

This is true.

The same is true for Shen Youzhi's assessment of his own strength.

"Since that's the case, let's compete again when we have time in the future!" Shen Youzhi suggested.

"Okay! It's a rare pleasure to compete with a master like Brother Shen!" Li Yuanfang replied proudly.

So far, a basic friendship has been established between the two.

Two days later, Di Renjie, who went to Yuanjue Temple for a secret meeting with Wu Zetian, came back.

There was also a tall and burly man who came with him.

Although this person is dressed in ordinary clothes, there are rules for walking, sitting and lying down, unlike ordinary people.

Shen Youzhi knew that this was Hu Jinghui.

"My lord, you are here!"

Li Yuanfang was pleasantly surprised when he saw Di Renjie.

"Duke!"

Shen Youzhi also cupped his hands.

Di Renjie nodded to the two, then pointed to the man beside him, and introduced: "This is General Qianniuwei Zhonglang and General Hu Jinghui who are beside the emperor.

The case of the mission is very important, and the emperor sent him to assist me in handling the case. "

"Jinghui, this is Shen Youzhi." Di Renjie introduced to Hu Jinghui again: "The other one is Li Yuanfang."

Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang clasped their hands together and said, "I've seen General Tiger!"

When Hu Jinghui heard the words, he just cupped his hands slightly, with a rather haughty look on his face.

He is the personal guard of the royal family, a fourth-rank Qianniuwei Zhonglang general, even high-ranking officials in the court would not pay attention to him.

The guerrilla general in front of him is still a criminal, and the other is a white-bodied ranger who doesn't even have an official position. Naturally, it's not worth his extra talk.

Shen Youzhi and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, each feeling a little embarrassed.

"Okay." Di Renjie quickly came out to smooth things over, and said, "The case is urgent and we don't allow a moment's delay. Let's set off immediately!"

"My lord!" Hu Jinghui finally said, "The emperor appointed you as an imperial envoy, but why don't you go with the guards, and instead act in private?"

Di Renjie only smiled mysteriously when he heard the words, and replied: "Don't say it, don't say it!"

Shen Youzhi at the side thought silently: It seems that it is time to officially enter the Youzhou case next!
Although the Youzhou case is complicated and confusing, with one big case involving several small cases, it seems intricate and confusing, but it is easy to understand as long as you grasp the main line.

The mastermind of Youzhou is Jin Mulan, Li Qingxia, the master of Yiyang County.

Her ultimate goal is to collude with the Turks, overthrow the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and become the second female emperor herself.

Li Qingxia's plan can be roughly divided into two lines: internal and external:
Externally, he colluded with the rebel forces Modu in Turkic territory, killed Shibi Khan and Jili Khan of the Turkic main peace faction, and helped the main war faction to lead Turkic.

Internally, he colluded with Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou, to develop his own power in Youzhou.

It is worth mentioning that the identity of Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou, is very special.

His real name is Liu Jin, and he is an aide of the King of Yue.

Liu Jin has a list in his hand, which records the names of many ministers who participated in the Yue King's rebellion case.

Of course Wu Zetian wanted to know who those anti-Wu people were.

Therefore, Liu Jin fell into the hands of Qianniuwei and was tortured to extract a confession.

Therefore, the first thing Jin Mulan did was to kill the mission and replace the real one with a fake one to go to Beijing.

After Viper rescued Liu Jin who was imprisoned in the earthen kiln, the fake mission group took Liu Jin away from Shendu without anyone noticing.

During Liu Jin's arrest, there was naturally no one in Youzhou.

In order not to be discovered by the court that Liu Jin is Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou, Jin Mulan had no choice but to send someone to disguise himself as Fang Qian.

In Jin Mulan's vision, the final result is to cooperate with the outside world, first rely on the list in Liu Jin's hand to contact the anti-army forces in the DPRK and China, and then occupy Youzhou and open the country to let the Turkic army invade Wu Zhou, helping her to overthrow the court of Wu Zhou, and do her best. The second empress.

Not to mention how naive her idea of ​​luring wolves into the house is, and not to mention how a snake-like chess piece of hers has the confidence to surpass Xiao Qingfang's own emperor, but only to talk about practical operations, Jin Mulan has not played well in either of these two lines.

Externally, although they killed Shibi Khan, they failed to kill Ji Li, and he fled to Youzhou under the pseudonym Li Er.

Although Fang Qian, the fake assassin, sent someone to capture Li Er, the execution was interrupted by the riots launched by the villagers of Daliushu Village, and Li Er took the opportunity to escape.

Afterwards, Viper caught Li Er and almost killed him, but in the end Li Er was poisoned and escaped to Xiaolianzi Village, where he was rescued by villager Lu Dayou.

In the end, Di Renjie came to Lu Dayou's house to stay overnight, and happened to save Li Er who was dying of poisoning.

This eventually led to Geely contacting Di Renjie, and through Di Renjie contacted Wu Zetian, and was able to use Wu Zhou's soldiers and horses to quell the Turkic civil strife.

As a result, the outside plan completely failed, and Jin Mulan's fantasy of trying to use the power of the Turks completely came to nothing.

As for the inside line, because raising troops needs weapons, armor, and money and food, Fang Qian and Sima Wu Yizhi, the governor of Youzhou, secretly arrested the villagers of Xiaolianzi Village and enslaved them to dig iron ore and forge weapons and armor at night, resulting in the so-called "ghost town" "The illusion.

Not only that, they also embezzled the comfort funds of the villagers of Daliushu Village, which caused the villagers of Daliushu Village to riot, and indirectly caused Li Er to take advantage of the chaos to escape from the execution ground.

After that, Di Renjie followed suit, starting with the corruption case, and found out that the fake Fang Qian was planning to rebel.

In desperation, Fang Qian had no choice but to rebel in advance.

But this hasty action was quickly suppressed by Di Renjie.

The fake Fang Qian was also silenced by Jin Mulan.

At this point, Jin Mulan could only release Zhen Fangqian, that is, Liu Jin, and devised a bitter plan to make Zhen Fangqian a victim imprisoned by the gangsters, in order to win Di Renjie's sympathy and trust.

Unfortunately, this plan also fell through, and Di Renjie quickly exposed Fang Qian's lies, and revealed his identity as an aide to King Yue.

At this point, Jin Mulan's plan has almost collapsed.

In order not to reveal her identity, she could only let Viper kill Liu Jin and take the risk of assassinating Li Er.

After a series of investigations, Di Renjie had already identified Viper's identity, so he used his tricks and caught him on the spot when Viper was about to assassinate Li Er.

After learning that Viper failed to assassinate Li Er, Jin Mulan could only put all her eggs in one basket.

She immediately decided to use Li Daitao's stiff strategy, and asked her maid to replace herself, creating the illusion that the bandit leader Jin Mulan committed suicide in fear of crime, while she herself pretended to be the innocent princess who was kidnapped by the gangsters. After being rescued, she lurked in Di Renjie around.

Afterwards, she took the opportunity to unite with the forces in Youzhou city, preparing to capture Youzhou, and before Li Er returned to Turkic, she united with the main combat faction in Turkic to overthrow Wu Zhou.

However, Di Renjie has long been aware of her flaws and quelled the civil strife in Youzhou, making Jin Mulan's plan completely thwarted.

This is the beginning and end of the Youzhou case.

One purpose, two main lines, involving large and small branch lines, so it looks intricate and confusing.
