Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 163 Step by step
Inside the sleeping hall of Empress Wu Zetian in Shangyang Palace.

High-burning red candles, a piece of light.

Wu Zetian sat on the head of the bed and fell asleep.

On the chair beside the bed, Chunxiang and Di Chun were also half asleep and awake.

The door of the palace opened slightly, and a servant walked up to Chunxiang gently, and tugged at her sleeve.

Chunxiang woke up with a start.

The servant whispered: "Why are you falling asleep! Hurry up and wake up the emperor!"

Di Chun opened her eyes, and Chunxiang was also startled. She stood up, walked to Wu Zetian's side, and whispered, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian shuddered and woke up: "What's wrong?"

Chunxiang hurriedly said: "The emperor forgot, it was your order, as soon as you see your majesty asleep, wake up immediately, otherwise you will be haunted by nightmares again."

Wu Zetian let out a long sigh and nodded, "Yes, I haven't forgotten. When will this kind of day be the end!"

Chunxiang said: "The national teacher Wang Zhiyuan and Uncle Xiaoyao Wang Jingyang are trying to figure out a way, I think His Majesty will be able to sleep peacefully soon!"

Wu Zetian murmured, "I don't know what the two of them are thinking about?"

As she spoke, her eyes looked out the window.

The rain outside the window bursts, and the east has turned pale.

Wu Zetian asked, "What time is it?"

Chunxiang replied, "It's the end of the fifth watch."

Wu Zetian nodded: "Okay, in another hour, it will be dawn, and I can finally sleep."

……

After Wang Mang returned to the room, he came to his senses and murmured: What's wrong with me?Isn't it just that there is no plot advantage? Could it be that with the knowledge of later generations, you can't play the ancients?

Not to mention some knowledge learned by later generations, just relying on Professor Yuan Tiangang's ability alone, Wang Mang is not weaker than others!Why be afraid?
Wang Mang finally figured it out. He might have relied too much on the plot of his previous life. He didn't catch the headless general this time, so the gap in his heart was too great.

After figuring this out, Wang Mang immediately cheered up.

He began to think slowly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and three words came out of his mouth: "Jiang Xiaolang!"

He finally knew why he didn't catch the headless general this time, and he deviated from the most important point in judging the case: step by step!

He wanted to catch the headless general too much, it could be said that he was too greedy for that bloody horse!
Wang Mang meditated for a while and regained his energy. As soon as he went out, he saw Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai packing up and saluting.

Di Renjie sat behind the desk.

Wang Mang said in surprise, "My lord, you are..."

Di Renjie raised his head, looked at Wang Mang whose face had recovered and smiled: "Have you figured it out?"

Wang Mang nodded: "My lord, I have figured it out, we have overlooked an important person!"

"Oh?"

Li Yuanfang stopped the movement of his hands: "You also said the same?"

Wang Mang was puzzled: "Who else said that, could it be an adult?"

Zeng Tai laughed: "We talked with our mentor just now!"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other and laughed.

……

The sky was drizzling.

Enji Zhuang.

The servants packed their bags.

Wang Mang, Di Renjie and others walked to the gate, and Wang Mang opened it.

Wang Mang was taken aback. There were a lot of people kneeling in front of the gate, and they were the villagers of Enji Village headed by Pang San and several elders.

Seeing Wang Mang, Di Renjie and others coming out of the door, the villagers shouted loudly: "Master, help me!"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang were stunned for a moment, and their eyes turned to Zeng Tai beside him.

Zeng Tai hurriedly said: "Folks, what are you doing?"

An elder shouted loudly: "Decades ago, Enji Village was ravaged by evil spirits, and the family surnamed Jiang in Gangshang was slaughtered by evil spirits overnight! After 60 years, this evil spirit returned unexpectedly. The day before yesterday At night, more than a dozen foreigners who strayed into Jiang's compound were killed. Grandpa, the bloodshed has already begun! It will never let anyone in Enji Manor go. Caomin is willing to ask Grandpa to find a way, otherwise, Zhuang There is absolutely no reason for the young and old to survive! My lord!"

As he spoke, he bowed his head.

The villagers shouted in unison: "Grandfather, help me!"

Zeng Tai didn't know what to do, and he looked distressed: "Old man, it's not that the county doesn't want to take care of it, it can't take care of it! This case is caused by evil spirits. The villagers may have heard of it. Yin and yang are different. I am an official in the yang. Nothing to do with hell!"

The elder begged bitterly: "Could it be that the grandfather will leave us alone! If the grandfather leaves, the lives of the little people will be lost! Please help me!"

The villagers knelt on the ground and wept together.

Zeng Tai felt very uncomfortable, but he was helpless.

Wang Mang took a deep breath and looked at Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang.

Pang San, who was kneeling in front, suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Folks, it's no use begging anyone, why don't we organize ourselves and fight this bloody evil spirit!"

Several young people responded immediately, shouting: "Third Brother is right, let's fight him!"

The elder shouted: "Pang San! You have to think about the old and weak children in the village! If you can't fight, you youngsters just leave. But what about the old people? What about the women? What about the children?! "

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Pang San was also dumbfounded, he said anxiously: "This won't work, that won't work either! What's going on?"

Di Renjie walked slowly to the front of the crowd: "Folks, listen to me!"

The villagers looked up and looked at him.

Pang San looked at Di Renjie and asked, "Are you also an official?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Folks, I'm here to make a promise to everyone. We will definitely return to Enji Village tomorrow. Regardless of whether the murderer is a man or a ghost, I will definitely arrest him and bring him to justice. ! Give justice to the dead! Let the folks feel at ease!"

The villagers looked at Di Renjie suspiciously and looked at each other.

Zeng Tai, Li Yuanfang, and He Yun were also shocked by these words, and all eyes were on Di Renjie.

Only Wang Mang smiled slightly, as if he had confidence in Di Renjie's words.

Pang San said with disdain on his face: "Who are you, dare to praise Haikou like this? You can take care of things that even the county magistrate can't take care of!"

Di Renjie smiled slightly, and when he was about to speak, Zeng Tai scolded: "Bold, how can you talk to adults like this!"

Pang San couldn't help being surprised.

Di Renjie said to him: "Don't worry, what I said is ironclad. If I say I can manage it, I can do it!"

The elder kneeling in front also saw that the old man who said "big words" had an extraordinary bearing, and he said tentatively, "My lord, unless you can tell us who you are, the grassroots will not believe it!"

The villagers also shouted in unison: "Yes, who are you, why do you say such big words!"

"Is it because we country people are easy to deceive and talk big to fool us!"

The shouts suddenly rang out.

Zeng Tai immediately shouted angrily: "Bold! Bold! You will fail to rebel!"

Di Renjie sighed, and said to Zeng Tai, "Just tell them my identity."

Li Yuanfang said anxiously: "My lord, you have left the capital privately this time. If you leak the news and the censor finds out, you will be punished!"

Wang Mang also looked at Di Renjie: "My lord, we are still not sure about that matter. If our judgment is wrong again, I'm afraid..."

　Preview of the next chapter: Of course Di Renjie will tell the villagers his identity, but what did Wang Mang and Di Renjie think of?Stay tuned!
