The Heavens Begin with Detective Di Renjie

Chapter 7
The development of things is indeed the same as in the original book.

Zhang Laosi reversed the case in the court, saying that the previous remarks in Daliushu Village were all nonsense, and the consolation money was not embezzled.

Di Renjie was caught off guard by this sudden change, so he had to hastily end the trial.

Youzhou, Wuyuan

Although this garden is small and exquisite, it is a good place to recuperate.

And Di Renjie, the imperial envoy, was also set up here by Fang Qian.

In the main hall, Di Renjie carefully reviewed the details of the trial——

Zhang Laosi really wanted to confess truthfully at the beginning, but suddenly changed his mind midway.

Di Renjie guessed that Zhang Laosi must have been threatened by someone, and in order to save his life, he had to openly reverse the case.

Thinking of this, he summoned Li Yuanfang.

"Yuan Fang, take Di Chun and my Shangfang sword, go to Sanhe County immediately and summon Zhao Chuanchen, the county magistrate!" Di Renjie ordered.

Zhang Laosi's blatant betrayal made him very passive, and now he can only resort to the strategy of being suspicious, defrauding Fang Qian, the governor of Youzhou.

Li Yuanfang bowed and said, "Yes!"

"Remember." Di Renjie reminded: "It must be kept secret."

Li Yuanfang understood, and replied: "Please rest assured, my lord!"

Afterwards, he and Di Chun rushed to Sanhe County with Shangfang's sword.

It can be seen from this that Di Renjie has gradually trusted Li Yuanfang, but has doubts about Hu Jinghui.

Otherwise, how could such an important task be entrusted to Li Yuanfang, a sinful person, instead of Hu Jinghui, who is the general of Qianniuwei Zhonglang?
As for Shen Youzhi, until now Di Renjie was not sure about his pulse, so he simply put him aside.

That night, Zhao Chuanchen, the magistrate of Sanhe County, was taken to the palace of the imperial envoy.

Di Renjie then interrogated Zhao Chuanchen overnight.

"The lowly Sanhe county magistrate Zhao Chuanchen, kowtow to the imperial envoy!" Zhao Chuanchen knelt down on his knees and kowtowed to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie glanced at him coldly, and shouted: "Zhao Chuanchen, are you convicted?"

"The humble officer doesn't understand what your lord means." Zhao Chuanchen glanced up at Di Renjie, then quickly lowered his head.

"Don't understand? Okay! Then let me remind you: a year ago, the state distributed a sum of money to the counties"

Di Renjie told all about his embezzlement of comfort money.

The more Zhao Chuanchen listened, the more frightened he became. The official hat on his head was soaked with sweat from his forehead.

"My lord, this money is a villain's greed." Zhao Chuanchen said tremblingly: "The lowly position has embezzled huge sums of money, and I know that the crime is serious. Please deal with it!"

Di Renjie knew that he was taking the blame for someone behind the scenes, so he immediately asked: "Are you sure, you did this alone?"

Zhao Chuanchen gritted his teeth and nodded, and said firmly, "Exactly."

When Di Renjie heard this, he laughed and said sarcastically: "Don't say that you are a small county magistrate, even the state officials and governors don't have this ability!
I advise you to tell the truth! "

Zhao Chuanchen's hands trembled a little, he swallowed lightly, but still said stubbornly: "This matter was indeed done by a humble person, I hope your lord will see clearly."

Seeing that he was not being honest, Di Renjie began to adopt a soft policy again, saying: "One thing you have to think about, you can't afford this crime.

No matter what promises the people behind your back make, they are false.

Since they throw you out as a scapegoat now, do they still care about the life and death of your family? "

After Zhao Chuanchen heard this, he raised his head instantly, and his eyes shone with fear.

Seeing this, Di Renjie expressed his interests to him: "You have only one fate, and that is to be killed by your master!"

Zhao Chuanchen was shaking like he was sifting through chaff, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"Don't believe me? We can play a game."

Di Renjie immediately summoned his servants and arranged for Zhao Chuanchen to live in the East Garden.

Since he wanted to fish, he naturally had to look at Zhao Chuanchen as the bait.

That night, Fang Qian and Sima Wu Yizhi, governor of Youzhou, received the news of Di Renjie's night trial of Zhao Chuanchen.

"You said, Zhao Chuanchen won't betray us, right?" Fake Fang Qian looked at Wu Yizhi and asked uneasily.

Wu Yizhi pondered for a moment, then replied: "Everyone is sitting in the same boat, and when we're done, he won't be able to run away either.

I think he shouldn't be able to figure it out, right? ! "

Having said that, Fang Qian was still uneasy, and decided to go to Di Renjie's place early tomorrow morning to find out the truth.

In the early morning of the next day, Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi came to Wu Garden to find out the truth in the name of paying their respects to the imperial envoy.

Led by Hu Jinghui, the two of them went straight into the main hall, and actually saw Di Renjie having a secret meeting with Zhao Chuanchen!
Not only that, Hu Jinghui was also severely reprimanded by Di Renjie for recklessly bringing them into the main hall without notification.

This aggravated the uneasiness in Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi's hearts.

Quiet Night, Sanhe County Government Office
Zhao Chuanchen picked up the tea brought by his servant and was about to drink it when he heard a "whoosh", something flew over and knocked the teacup in his hand to the ground.

Zhao Chuanchen was frightened out of his wits, and immediately raised his head, only to see a black shadow jumping down from the beam.

That black shadow was none other than Li Yuanfang!
Zhao Chuanchen was puzzled and stammered, "Li, General Li."

Li Yuanfang pointed to the ground and explained, "Look at that cup of tea!"

Zhao Chuanchen lowered his head slowly, only to see the hissing sound of the tea spilled on the ground, and a puff of white smoke, followed by a sour smell in the room.

Zhao Chuanchen was completely stunned, and said tremblingly, "Yes, it's poison!"

Until now, he finally believed Di Renjie's words, and understood that his master would never care about his life, but wished to silence him!

Li Yuanfang took Zhao Chuanchen and Kuiye back from Sanhe County to the imperial envoy Xingyuan.

When Zhao Chuanchen saw Di Renjie, he kowtowed and said repeatedly: "Thank you for saving my life! Thank you for saving my life!"

Seeing this, Di Renjie quickly helped him up, and asked about the comfort money again.

This time, Zhao Chuanchen didn't hide anything, and explained everything he knew——

A year ago, the imperial court transferred the consolation funds from the state to the humble officials.

Originally all the humble posts were to be handed out, but at this moment, Mr. Fang sent someone to call me to Youzhou and told me that the money could not be handed out.

I was very surprised at the time, and hurriedly asked him the reason. He said that it was an order from the imperial court, and he ordered me to deposit the money in my own name to heaven...

Having said this, Zhao Chuanchen suddenly stopped and looked at Di Renjie blankly.

Di Renjie was concerned about the clues, and hurriedly asked: "Where did you save it?"

However, Zhao Chuanchen still half-closed his lips and said nothing.

Di Renjie suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurried forward to check, only to find that Zhao Chuanchen had already passed away!

"There are assassins!" Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui chased them out at the same time.

Di Renjie looked at Zhao Chuanchen's body and sighed heavily.

Zhao Chuanchen's death was naturally the work of Viper Hu Jinghui. He shot Zhao Chuanchen with a shadowless needle in order to keep the fake Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi.

However, what Hu Jinghui didn't expect was that Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi felt that Di Renjie already knew their identities because of the incident during the day.

Frightened, they contacted General Xiong in the barracks privately without Jin Mulan's superior order, planning to rise ahead of time, kill Di Renjie, and seize the entire territory of Youzhou!
