Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 290 The Bad News

After listening to Li Yuanfang's narration, Di Renjie raised his head and asked, "The Qingyang Inn in Liuzhou?"

Hearing the Qingyang Inn, Wang Mang's eyes flashed a strange color.

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Exactly. There, Xiaomei and I met."

Di Renjie asked: "Then, what happened next?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Ten days later, I received a secret letter, which was sent by Xiaomei. The letter said that I should wait for her at the ancient temple in Dayang Mountain. I waited for five or six days, and finally, A few nights ago, Xiaomei came and was seriously injured..."

He described what happened in front of the ancient temple at that time.

After finishing speaking, Li Yuanfang let out a long sigh: "I took care of those men in black who chased and killed her, but I couldn't save her life! She was injured too badly."

Hearing this, Wang Mang was taken aback, and blurted out: "What? Xiaomei is dead?"

All of a sudden, everyone in the room looked at Wang Mang, and Di Renjie asked in surprise, "Why, Jingyang, do you know Xiaomei?"

Wang Mang took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "When I was young, I knew a girl named Xiaomei in the snake spirit, but I haven't contacted her for a long time, and I don't know if the Xiaomei brother Yuanfang mentioned is the Xiaomei I know."

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang nodded: "So that's the case!"

"Oh, by the way, Yuan Fang, tell Jing Yang about Xiao Mei's appearance, and see if it is the Xiao Mei Jing Yang knows."

Suddenly, Di Renjie raised his head.

Wang Mang looked at Li Yuanfang, his heart was trembling, for fear of hearing this terrible news.

Li Yuanfang nodded, and he recalled: "Xiaomei is dressed in purple, with a round oval face and braids at the back of her head. She is about 20 years old."

Hearing this, Wang Mang's heart sank gradually, his face became ugly, and his fists were clenched tightly.

When Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and Ruyan saw Wang Mang's appearance, the three of them looked at each other, as if they understood something.

Di Renjie walked forward slowly and patted Wang Mang's shoulder lightly.

Wang Mang took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "I will definitely make them pay the price!"

After a long time, Di Renjie took a deep breath and nodded: "You are really a righteous girl!"

Ruyan sobbed softly: "She is for me, for me... I killed her, my best friend!"

Di Renjie patted her on the shoulder: "Ruyan, Xiaomei is for benevolence, loyalty, and for the country. Her death is as heavy as Mount Tai. Compared with those beasts in human skin in 'Snake Spirit', I don't know how many times stronger it is to live in the world!"

Ruyan nodded, wiping the tears off her face.

Di Renjie started to pace slowly. Suddenly, he stopped, turned around and asked, "Yuanfang, what did Xiaomei say before she died?"

Li Yuanfang said: "At that time, when she was dying, she just said intermittently: 'Hurry up, hurry back to Luo, Luoyang, Shan, Shan, Han, Han, Han...' At this point, she died of breathlessness. .”

Wang Mang was still caught in the sad news of Xiaomei's death and did not speak.

Di Renjie pondered, and said slowly: "I think, she must tell you the next action plan of the 'Snake Spirit', but it's a pity that the injury is too serious, so I couldn't finish the sentence."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "I think so too. But my lord, these days, I've thought about these few words hundreds of times, but I still can't figure out the meaning."

Di Renjie pondered for a long time, and said, "She told you to hurry back to Luoyang immediately."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Exactly."

Di Renjie slowly got up, and murmured: "These words must be very important, otherwise, Xiaomei would never say these words on her deathbed. But... what is she going to tell us? "

Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie.

Suddenly, Wang Mang said: "My lord, I think, I know something."

The three people in the room looked at Wang Mang, and Di Renjie stared at Wang Mang closely: "Jing Yang, I just said that you would bring us a surprise, but I didn't expect... Tell me, Jing Yang, what news did you get? "

At this time, Wang Mang suddenly thought of Xiaofeng. You must know that the two sisters are exactly the same, could it be...

Thinking of this, Wang Mang suppressed his grief over Xiaomei's death, and said slowly, "Someone wants to stab me!"

"what?"

The three people in the house were stunned.

……

At dusk, in the farmyard in the deep mountains, a bamboo trough passes through the door, bringing water into the cistern in the yard, making a "squeaky" sound. In this quiet courtyard, this is the only sound.

The lights were on in the main room, and the table was covered with all kinds of strange weapons, almost all of which were mechanical: flywheel knives, flowering crossbows, swallow clangs, shadowless needles...

With both hands, the weapons were assembled neatly one by one.

This person was the purple-robed man who had argued with Xiao Qingfang earlier. He slowly lifted the hat on his head, revealing a familiar face. He was Wang Mang's brother Hu Jinghui's good friend. At the same time, he is also Xiaotao's master - Li Wenzhong!

At this moment, there was a smile on his face.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of trampling iron hooves in his ears, metal and iron colliding, accompanied by screams...

Li Wenzhong closed his eyes in pain, and the killing he personally experienced in front of Huang Guogong's mansion many years ago came to mind again——

In front of the gate, dozens of men knelt in front of the mansion, and behind each of them stood an executioner holding a ghost-headed sword.

Three cannons rang out, and the executioner shouted loudly: "It's [-]:[-] noon, let's execute!"

Dozens of executioners dropped their steel knives, their heads rolled over and their blood flowed like rivers.

At the back door, the officers and soldiers drove the women in the mansion into the prison van.

A girl was crying and lying on the ground, and the officers and soldiers beat and dragged her.

From the looks of this woman, she was Xiaohui who had a tryst with the prince in the cultivation workshop.

A horse galloped towards him, and the man on the horse was Li Wenzhong. He got off his horse and called out repeatedly: "Xiaohui, Xiaohui!"

He knocked the officers and soldiers to the ground with three punches and two kicks.

The girl cried out with a "wow": "Brother Zhong!"

Li Wenzhong had tears in his eyes: "Xiaohui, let's go!"

As he spoke, he picked up the girl in his arms.

Horseshoes sounded behind him, and an officer and army commander galloped forward with a long knife in his hand. With a flash of cold light, blood gushed out from Li Wenzhong's back, and he fell heavily in a pool of blood...

……

Li Wenzhong slowly opened his eyes, and at some point, his face was full of tears.

He took a deep breath, and firmly grasped the steel knife on the table with both hands.

This is a single knife as thin as paper. With a flick of the middle finger on the blade, "铛", the sound is clear and loud, and the knife emits a cold light under the light of the oil lamp.

Li Wenzhong also has a name, that is Shining, one of the six leaders of the "Snake Spirit".

Tomorrow, he will be sent by the general altar to carry out an extremely secret special task...
