Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 291
At night, the soft moonlight emitted a white halo, illuminating the entire Di Mansion.

In the main hall of Di Mansion, red candles were burning high, and Di Renjie paced slowly, while Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Ru Yan sitting across from him looked at him motionless.

Suddenly, Di Renjie stopped in his footsteps, turned around suddenly, and looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, you mean someone assassinated him?"

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, this is the news I finally got from the snake spirit, it should be true, as for who stabbed him and when, these are all confidential, so I don't know. "

Di Renjie nodded, but did not speak.

Li Yuanfang raised his head: "My lord, do you want to tell the emperor about this?"

Di Renjie shook his head slowly: "Not right, not right! At present we don't have any direct evidence to prove these things. If we try to scare the snake away, not only will we fall into a passive position, but the emperor will also be in danger."

Wang Mang also nodded: "Yes, what your lord said makes sense, Brother Yuan Fang, we can't act recklessly!"

Li Yuanfang patted Wang Mang's shoulder and shook his head: "Jing Yang, you're talking like I'm a reckless man."

Ruyan snorted lightly: "Aren't you just a reckless man?"

Embarrassment flashed across Li Yuanfang's face, he ignored Wang Mang's strange eyes, lowered his head, and made a pensive expression.

At this time, Di Renjie stopped his slow pacing feet, and he turned around suddenly, as if he saw a glimmer of light in his confusion.

A few words Ruyan said echoed in his mind: "In the Snake Spirit, there are six killers ranked in the general altar, known as the Six Snake Heads, the first is Shining; the second is Blood spirit……"

Di Renjie raised his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and pictures flashed before his eyes: the headless male corpse in Hanguang Temple; the smooth skin next to the left index finger of the corpse...

Suddenly, he gasped, and struck hard with both palms: "So that's how it is!"

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Ruyan surrounded him: "What did you think of?"

Di Renjie said: "Ruyan, Jingyang, you two once said that there are six snake heads in the 'Snake Spirit' organization, and the number one is called Shining, right?"

Ruyan nodded: "Exactly."

Wang Mang nodded, and thought to himself: Di Renjie deserves to be Di Renjie, and he already thought of the truth by just mentioning it a little.

Wang Mang said: "My lord, I can now be sure that Shining should be a top expert."

Di Renjie nodded: "If my prediction is correct, the word 'Shan' that Xiaomei said is the Shining Spirit."

Li Yuanfang and Ruyan were taken aback: "Shining?"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, what do you think?"

Wang Mang nodded: "My lord, I also thought of this, but I don't know what Xiaomei said intermittently later, 'Han, Han...'"

Di Renjie took a look at Wang Mang and said, "It seems that Jingyang agrees with what I think. After saying the word 'Shan', Xiaomei intermittently said 'Han, Han...', is that Yuan Fang?"

As he spoke, Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang.

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Exactly. My lord, what does the word 'cold' mean?"

Di Renjie said, "I think he's talking about Hanguang Temple."

Li Yuanfang asked blankly: "Hanguang Temple?"

Wang Mang also raised his head, and asked with a puzzled face, "What happened to Hanguang Temple?"

Di Renjie said, "Exactly."

Ruyan asked puzzledly: "But, what is the relationship between Shining Spirit and Hanguang Temple?"

Wang Mang also nodded: "That's right, what's the connection?"

Di Renjie said: "The emperor is going to visit Hanguang Temple tomorrow morning, and combined with the news Jing Yang said, then..."

Li Yuanfang suddenly exclaimed: "You mean, Shining is going to assassinate Hanguang Temple!"

Ruyan screamed in surprise: "What, what?"

Di Renjie looked closely at Wang Mang, only to see that Wang Mang also looked shocked: "What!"

A trace of doubt flashed in Di Renjie's eyes, and he took a deep breath: "The few words Xiaomei said before she died, plus the news of Jing Yang, so there is only one explanation, and that is to tell us that Shining You were ordered to ambush in Hanguang Temple in an attempt to assassinate him, so she told you to rush back to Luoyang as soon as possible."

Li Yuanfang suddenly realized: "Not bad, not bad! At that time, if what she said to me was coherent, it would be: Hurry back to Luoyang, Shining Spirit, Hanguang Temple!"

Di Renjie said: "Also, today, Qianniuwei General Huan Bin led his guards to investigate Hanguang Temple and found a headless male corpse in the back garden."

Li Yuanfang was startled: "Oh? Is there really a connection between the two?"

Wang Mang said anxiously: "My lord, what should we do now? Should we lead people to surround Hanguang Temple?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "No, not yet."

Ruyan asked anxiously: "Uncle, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work, so what should we do now?"

Di Renjie raised his head: "Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, let's go to the palace to face the saint immediately!"

……

In the bedroom of Shangyang Palace, the lights were dim, and Wu Zetian was already fast asleep.

In front of the palace gate is a tall wind lamp, and the guards on duty are vigilantly patrolling.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the darkness, and the guard yelled, "Who is it?"

"it's me!"

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang walked over quickly, and the guards rushed forward to meet them: "Oh, it's Mr. Di Ge, Lord Wang, General Li."

Di Renjie said hastily: "If you bother to report, just say that I have something to ask to see the emperor!"

The guard said in embarrassment: "Ge Lao, the emperor has already fallen asleep, if you need anything, come back tomorrow."

Di Renjie said urgently: "Please go in and wake up the emperor immediately, and say that life and death are at stake, please allow me to come in!"

The guard said: "Elder Ge, you know the emperor's temper. Once she is asleep, no one will dare to wake her up. Otherwise, the head of the humble position may not be able to be kept. In my opinion, you'd better come back tomorrow."

Di Renjie sighed helplessly, and wandered anxiously.

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

Wang Mang gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, do you want me to enter the palace?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "No, no, Jing Yang, you can use one less chance. And based on what I know about the emperor, tomorrow's incense is related to the majesty of the emperor, and she will never ask the enemy Compromised, therefore, I am here this time just to make the emperor prepare..."

Having said that, Di Renjie stopped abruptly: "Yuan Fang, you immediately go back to your residence and summon the leaders of the Eight Great Army. Jing Yang and I will go to Hanguang Temple first!"

Li Yuanfang nodded and left quickly.

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, then turned and left, followed by Wang Mang.
