Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 22

After listening to Wang Mang's narration, Di Renjie pondered for a while, and he didn't know how much he believed Wang Mang's words. After a while, he said to Li Yuanfang: "That's why those Jianghu people can find you every time. Of course, come to me. ,not excluded."

Li Yuanfang was startled, and lost her voice: "What, it's their plan for the humble staff to come here."

As soon as the words were finished, there was a knock on the door, and Di Renjie shouted, "Who is it?"

Di Chun's voice came from outside the door.

"My lord, Qianniuwei in Beijing is here to deliver the decree."

When Di Renjie heard this, he waved his hand, and Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang hid in the inner room.

After Wang Mang and Mang had hidden themselves, Di Renjie opened the door, and a General Qianniuwei came in. The general said, "My lord, the imperial decree has arrived. Please accept the decree, Lord Di."

Di Renjie knelt down on his knees and said: "My minister Di Renjie accepts the order."

When the general saw this, he unfolded the imperial decree and read: "There are drastic changes in the capital, the court is in panic, the missions are killed, the rebels are rampant, the peace talks are broken, and there is no peace on the sidelines."This is the autumn of critical life and death. You came north according to the previous order, and the pommel horse was tired. I should have taken care of it.However, the affairs of the court were urgent, and he did not dare to follow the rules and delay, so he followed Qian Niuwei and went to Beijing overnight.Don't procrastinate in vain, I look forward to it more, and you should detail it, I admire this.

When the general read the imperial decree, Di Renjie carefully looked at the general's clothes from toe to head.I saw the general wearing black quick boots, a flying bear suit, and a red jacket.

After the general finished reading, Di Renjie cupped his hands and said, "My minister Di Renjie takes the order to thank you."

After Di Renjie stood up and received the imperial edict, the general hurriedly said: "My lord, the carriage is ready and it's just outside the door."

Di Renjie snorted and asked, "Are the imperial guards and entourage who came with me also go with us?"

The general cupped his hands in the direction of the capital, and said: "The Holy Will is urgent, so there is no need to wait for them. Please come with us to Beijing immediately, sir."

Di Renjie thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, please wait a while, let me tidy up."

The general hesitated for a moment and said, "Then we will wait for you outside."

After finishing speaking, the general was about to turn around and go out. Seeing this, Di Renjie asked again: "General, are you from Youzhou?"

The general froze for a moment, then said, "No, the humble officer is from Shandong."

Di Renjie nodded with a smile, and the general said: "The humble officer is waiting for you outside the door."

After Di Renjie said hello, the general turned around and left.

After the general closed the door, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang came out from the inner room. Di Renjie asked solemnly, "Can I trust you?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes."

Not long after, I saw Di Chun helping a man in a black cloak slowly coming out of the post house. Di Chun helped the man and said: "Master, please slow down."

Then the man got into the carriage under Di Chun's service.

With the guard's "start", the carriage slowly began to walk.

Not long after, when the carriage reached a narrow street in the county seat, the general raised his hand, and the carriage stopped suddenly, and then a dozen men in black with bows and arrows appeared on the roofs on both sides of the street.

As the general lowered his raised hands, a dozen men in black shot arrows at the carriage.

To the general's surprise, there was no scream from inside the carriage. The general rode forward, pulled out the knife in his hand, and was about to open the carriage with the other hand.

At this time, the door of the carriage suddenly cracked open, and a steel knife appeared in the carriage. The general was split in two before he could react.

At this time, the men in black holding bows and arrows on both sides of the street realized that they were about to release their arrows when they suddenly fell down one by one.

Seeing this strange scene, the few remaining men in black were about to run away when a purple shadow leaped from behind like lightning. With the flash of cold light, the remaining men in black fell to the ground.

At this time, the Qianniuwei guards who were guarding both sides of the carriage on the street actually slashed at the people in the carriage with their sabers in their hands, but before they could do so, the carriage was scattered and cracked, and the scattered wooden boards blocked Qianniuwei's sight. Then a steel knife flew out of the carriage, and with a flash of cold light, the heads of several Qianniuwei flew out.

Seeing this, the remaining three Qianniuwei jumped up from their horses and slashed at Li Yuanfang who jumped out of the carriage.

At this moment, Li Yuanfang pressed the mechanism on the hilt in his hand, and the blade shot out quickly. Immediately afterwards, Li Yuanfang held the handle of the saber, and with a slight movement of his wrist, the three Qianniuwei were cut into two by the blade.

After the three died, Li Yuanfang pressed the mechanism again, and the blade returned to the handle.

It was only then that it was discovered that the blade and handle of Li Yuanfang's steel knife were actually connected by an iron chain, controlled by a mechanism on the handle.

At this time, a surviving Qianniuwei was about to run away, and during Li Yuanfang's ups and downs, the knife was on the neck of this Qianniuwei.

With the sound of horseshoes, Di Renjie drove over from the end of the street on a horse.

After Di Renjie dismounted, Wang Mang also jumped off the roof and walked to Di Renjie's side.

Originally, Wang Mang could have come down earlier, but since this was the first time to kill someone with a short sword, he felt very uncomfortable in his stomach after killing someone.

Therefore, it took a little more time, and the three heroes of Mobei were killed by Wuying Needle, so Wang Mang didn't feel like killing people at that time.

Originally, Wang Mang thought he had no feeling for killing people, but he didn't expect to kill so many people this time, which made Wang Mang feel uncomfortable for a while.

When Di Renjie walked in front of Qianniuwei, Li Yuanfang asked sharply, "To die or to live?"

The Qianniuwei stammered and said, "I want... I want to live"

Di Renjie looked at the Qianniuwei and asked, "Just one question, how many people have you ambushed outside the county seat?"

The Qianniuwei's expression was incredulous: "This... this..."

Di Renjie asked: "Why? Is this question difficult to answer?"

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, the Qianniuwei took the opportunity to lower his head, a cold light flashed, and went straight to Di Renjie's eyebrows. At this moment, Wang Mang, who had been paying attention to the Qianniuwei, swung his sword and the hidden weapon was blocked. down.

Seeing this, Li Yuanfang was furious, and with a swing of the knife, the Qianniuwei's head was chopped off.

Li Yuanfang said awkwardly: "My lord, I..."

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "What a fierce killer."

Li Yuanfang asked: "My lord, how did you find out that these people are fake imperial envoys?"

Di Renjie laughed and said: "To put it bluntly, it's not worth mentioning. The guards who declare the decree wear fast boots. But the standard uniform color of Qianniuwei is a flying bear suit, a red jacket, and golden boots with tiger heads on their feet. This is It is impossible to change the court system. This is the first doubtful point. Second, the person who proclaimed the decree clearly spoke with a Youzhou accent, but he denied it. Third, the emperor did not know that I had arrived in Jiangzhang, let alone declare me Go to Beijing overnight."

Wang Mang really admired Di Renjie at this time, and praised: "But it is not something ordinary people can make such accurate judgments from these tiny details."

Li Yuanfang said with a face of sudden realization: "I finally understand, they lured me here just to kill your lord, and then set the blame on me."

Wang Mang couldn't help but said, "This time, it's not just to kill the adults, but also to kill you."

Di Renjie's eyes lit up, he looked at Wang Mang and said, "Oh? Jing Yang, tell me?"

Wang Mang said: "They have ambushed killers outside the city, and they will kill you as soon as you leave the city. So a story happened. Li Yuanfang, the most wanted criminal in Tianzi, killed Di Renjie, the minister in charge of the case. In this way, Li Yuanfang, the only survivor of the mission, and Di Renjie, the minister who handled the case, died, and there would be no more clues for this case, so it would be over."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "What a Jing Yang, what you said is not bad at all, but they made a little mistake."

Li Yuanfang asked from the side: "What?"

Di Renjie sneered, "They are dealing with Di Renjie!"

Li Yuanfang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "My lord, let's go back to the post house quickly, we are protected by the guards, we dare not do anything wrong."

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "No, the matter has developed to this point, they will never let us go, so we can't go back. Once we go back, not only we will not be able to protect ourselves, but also the guards of the post house will be hurt. "

Li Yuanfang asked anxiously: "My lord, what should we do now?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Di Renjie's chubby face: "The golden cicada escapes its shell."
