Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 669 Di Renjie’s Case (3)

"My lord is back."

When Wang Kuan and several of Di Renjie's staff were chatting in low voices in the room, there was a burst of footsteps, and Di Renjie had already walked in from the outside. Seeing this, the people did not dare to be negligent, and each stood up to salute Not enough.

"Well, let's all sit down."

After socializing with old foxes like Li Yuanjia for a long time, Di Renjie was obviously a little tired, so he walked to the top with a little drag, lifted the hem of his robe, and sat down heavily.

"My lord, how is the situation?"

Seeing the tired look on Di Renjie's face, the group of people inevitably felt a little muttering in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask easily, only Wang Kuan didn't have any scruples, and asked directly.

"It's not very good. The king of Han put the post station case on Di's shoulders, which means that if the case is not solved, Shexian County may not be able to go."

Everyone here is a trustworthy person, Di Renjie naturally does not need to hide the truth, but he did not explain in detail, but only replied in a flat tone.

"Lord Di, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The King of Han is probably trying to use your hands to find out Lord Wang, and then to kill him. This must be guarded against."

As soon as Di Renjie's words came out, all the people looked at each other in blank dismay, and Liang Hao, the head of the staff, suddenly couldn't sit still, and hurriedly spoke out to remonstrate.

"That's right, my lord, the guards inside and outside the courtyard of the Wangfu that we are staying in now are heavily guarded, even if we want to go out, it is difficult. ?”

"My lord, according to my subordinates, this is clearly a trap. My lord must not agree to this matter. My lord has the holy decree, so why should I care about how the King of Han made things difficult for me? Just rush to She County."

With Liang Hao taking the lead, the rest of the aides couldn't help themselves, and started talking one after another. Only Wang Kuan remained silent, frowning thoughtfully, with a serious look on his mind.

"Does General Wang have any advice on this?"

Di Renjie stretched out his hand to stop everyone's shouting, looked at Wang Kuan who bowed his head and said nothing, and asked with a smile.

"Your Excellency, I think that King Han's move may have three meanings. First, it should be to delay the time so that Your Excellency cannot thoroughly investigate the case of She County. Second, did you really find Lord Wang and silence him?" As for the third, maybe they intend to drag you into the water to cover up their inappropriate behavior, these are all conjectures that will not be speculated, and I dare not speak the truth, please be careful."

Wang Kuan's martial arts are not as good as Luo Tong and others, but he is known as a wise general in "Ming Di", his mind is quite delicate, after some analysis, he is quite organized.

"Well, if so, what should I do?"

Di Renjie didn't comment on Wang Kuan's analysis, but just continued to ask with a smile.

"This... the last general really dare not speak in vain, everything must be decided by adults."

Although Wang Kuan has the ability to calculate intelligently, he is still not at the level of a wise man in the world. He can see the problem, but it is difficult to find a solution to the problem in a short time. Di Renjie's questioning, Wang Kuan could only shake his head impressively, and replied apologetically.

"Maybe General Wang avoided the outside eyes and ears to contact General Li and others?"

Di Renjie's ability to observe facial expressions was extremely strong, so he could see that Wang Kuan's words were true, so he didn't ask any further questions, but changed the topic.

"If the arrangements are in order, maybe you can try it."

Wang Kuan has a lot of experience in Jianghu. As soon as Bu settled down, he inspected the inside and outside, and he noticed the ambushes of the surrounding light and dark sentries. In his opinion, although it is strict, there are no shortage of loopholes to exploit. However, in front of Di Renjie, he did not dare to speak too much.

"Okay then, please General Wang to work hard tonight, be sure to contact General Li as soon as possible and tell them..."

Di Renjie firmly believed in Wang Kuan's ability, so he didn't say any more nonsense. He stood up, walked up to Wang Kuan, leaned over to his ear, and whispered a few words.

"No, don't worry, my lord, I will know what to do in the end."

Wang Kuan's face changed a few times, but in the end he still suppressed the doubts in his heart, he didn't say any more, he bowed to his promise, got up and went out, and went to arrange related matters without mentioning it.

Xushi is the real card, the sky has already darkened, thousands of lights are on, in the misty rain and mist, embellishing the huge Shangdang City like a bright galaxy, the only incongruity is that there are very few pedestrians on the street, even if there are some , it was full of soldiers and yamen servants who came and went on patrol, nothing else, just because the entire territory of Luzhou is still under curfew, and no idlers are allowed to go in and out after Xu time, so the bustling night market in the past is naturally impossible to talk about. After all, people who have nothing to do can only stay at home, or go to bed early, or drink to relieve boredom, and so on. The imperial envoys who live in other courtyards of the palace obviously choose the latter.

A group of people fighting, drinking and enjoying the Chinese wine will inevitably talk too much. If they talk too much, disputes will arise. First, they will make a noise, and then soon they will fight. All the people in the courtyard panicked, those who tried to persuade the fight were busy trying to persuade them to fight, and those who watched the excitement were also on the sidelines. There was a commotion inside and outside the entire palace, until Di Renjie, who was alarmed, rushed over in person and shouted loudly. Now, this is the end of this farce, but no one noticed that one of the imperial envoys was missing—just when the attention of everyone in the other courtyard was attracted by the commotion outside the gate of the mansion, he was walking around at night. Wang Kuan, who was in the clothes, had fled from the west wall of the other courtyard, and disappeared into the dark night like a ghost... On the ninth day of March in the third year of Yifeng, the light rain that lasted for several days stopped, but the sky remained the same. It was overcast, and the wreckage of the post station that had been soaked by rain for several days had long since lost its fire, but the smell was still there, and one could smell the extremely scorched smell from a long distance away. Li Chen, who had just stepped off the carriage, was rushed to his face. The smell made him frown, but as soon as he saw Di Renjie who had just got out of another carriage, he immediately changed into a smiling face, walked a few steps, and rushed to the front, very courteous. He opened his mouth and said: "Master Di, the front is very messy, do you think it's better to let the subordinates wait to get busy?"

"It's okay, if Shangdanggong is inconvenient, just take a rest here, and Di can go by himself."

When Di Renjie served as a law enforcement officer in the local area in his early years, what he did was to settle cases. He had never seen such a bloody or even disgusting scene. ", just smiled faintly, and walked slowly towards the wreckage while talking, seeing this, Li Chen had no choice but to pinch his nose helplessly and follow behind.

The work of on-site exploration is extremely cumbersome and highly professional. The officials next to the case generally sit on the sidelines and let their subordinates wait to investigate the site and listen to a report. The on-site investigation is considered to be completed, but Di Renjie It's different, he's used to doing it by himself, even though there are not only the masters from the Luzhou government in the team, but also the old masters he brought from the capital, but Di Renjie still insists that he also participates in it, amidst the messy wreckage Looking around, he didn't mind the pungent stench and the mess all over the floor.

Di Renjie enjoyed it, but Li Chen, who was following him, was so miserable that he wanted to jump up and scold his mother. Unfortunately, he could only mutter a few words in his heart, but he didn't dare to complain in front of Di Renjie, but Well, mumbling to muttering, Li Chen was not worried about the investigation itself, because the scene had already been dealt with back and forth several times, and Li Chen did not believe that Di Renjie could find valuable clues from the wreckage at all. Even if there is, it is a "evidence" specially left for Di Renjie to see.

"Shangdang invited you. According to the investigation report you issued, it was said that the attack on the post station was caused by internal and external collusion. First, there were internal thieves in the station who ignited the fire, and then the thieves took advantage of the situation to besiege and intercept and kill the station personnel on the spot. in this way?"

As the saying goes, no matter how cunning a fox meets a good hunter, all kinds of tricks are just a joke. Obviously, Di Renjie is an excellent hunter. Di Renjie had already found out his little gadget, but Di Renjie was not in a hurry to attack, but spent nearly two hours groping through the wreckage of the entire post station before mentioning the most important thing. Several pieces of evidence turned around to look at Li Chen with a tired face, and asked with a smile.

"That's right, that's true. I have inspected the scene several times a few days ago, so there shouldn't be any problems. Why? Does Lord Di think there is a mistake?"

Hearing Di Renjie's strange words, Li Chen couldn't help feeling a little turmoil in his heart, and then he looked at the few gadgets in Di Renjie's hands. He didn't understand what was wrong. asked mentally.

"Well, in this way, the fire was completely caused by thieves. Didn't I make a mistake?"

Di Renjie didn't answer Li Chen's rhetorical question directly, but asked directly.

"This...it should be like this."

Li Chen hesitated for a moment, and his brain started working quickly, but unfortunately he got nothing, so he had to grit his teeth and force his way.

"Oh? Then what is the explanation for the crossbow arrows under these wreckages? Could it be that those thieves are actually holding many military-style crossbows, huh?"

What Di Renjie was waiting for was obviously Li Chen's affirmation. Seeing that he had fallen into the trap without knowing it, Di Renjie stopped being tricky, and lit up the damaged arrows in his hand, with a half-smile asked.

"Ah, this, this, this..."

Hearing this, the sweat on Li Chen's forehead couldn't stop rushing out. Looking at the few broken arrows, he could not speak a complete sentence, and he was as embarrassing as he could be. .
