Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 385 Jiangzhou Murder Case
In the early morning, the third class of yamen under Jiangzhou governor's office surrounded the post house.

In front of the guest room door, the corpse of a middle-aged man lay lying in front of the door, his eyes were turned white, his mouth was wide open, he had been dead for a long time.

Wen Kai, governor of Jiangzhou, stood in front of the corpse, watching quietly. After a long time, he took a deep breath, knelt down and examined the corpse carefully.

There was a big hole in the back of the corpse's head, and the blood had solidified.

Wen Kai stood up slowly and said softly to Jiangzhou Sima Ge Bin next to him: "Isn't this Wuping county magistrate Huang Wenyue?"

Ge Bin nodded: "Exactly, he returned to Jiangzhou ten days ago when his tenure was over, and he was appointed by Yousi to arrange for him to live in the posthouse. This kind of thing happens..."

Wen Kai nodded slowly and walked into the room.

Everything in the room was as usual, Wen Kai looked around, and asked Guan Cheng behind him: "Did you hear anything last night?"

Guan Cheng said: "Last night, the villain was on duty. Around two o'clock, there seemed to be arguing in the room, but it stopped soon."

Wen Kai nodded: "What else?"

Guan Cheng shook his head: "There is nothing else."

Wen Kai said: "Did anyone come to see Mr. Huang last night?"

Guan Cheng thought for a while, and said: "It seems that a person wearing a black cloak came here, but I couldn't see his face clearly."

Wen Kai took a deep breath, and said to Sima Gebin: "Order the coroner to come for an autopsy. Close the posthouse and investigate immediately!"

……

On the banks of the Xunyang River, Hexi's sunshine spread over the river, and the sparkling water flowed eastward, which seemed to be less turbulent than in the past, and seemed very quiet.

A fishing boat is moored beside the gravel beach by the river, and the red clay stove at the stern of the boat emits light smoke.

At the bow of the boat, two people in coir raincoats are sitting and fishing alone. Looking carefully, they are one old and one young.

The two are Di Renjie and Wang Mang.

Suddenly, Wang Mang turned his head and smiled at Di Renjie: "Master, we have been fishing all morning, and you still haven't got anything!"

Di Renjie smiled slightly: "The fish will naturally take the bait when it's time to take the bait. I'm afraid the time has not come yet!"

Wang Mang nodded: "My lord is right, I was too impatient."

Suddenly, Wang Mang put down the fishing rod in his hand and turned his head: "Master, you have been in Wuping for half a month, don't you want to know why the emperor asked you to come to Wuping?"

Di Renjie smiled: "Of course I'll know when I should know. Besides, if there's anything wrong with you, the old man just wants to catch a good fish."

Wang Mang secretly said, "Sure enough, you are indeed an old fox!"

Suddenly, Wang Mang thought of something, he chuckled lightly: "Sir, it seems that I should learn more from your energy-raising skills!"

Di Renjie smiled: "What kind of energy-raising skills, it's just that the old man has lived too long and is tired and lazy."

Wang Mang nodded: "My lord, Jiangzhou has outstanding people and rich products, but it is a good place for self-cultivation!"

Just as Di Renjie was about to speak, a crisp bell sounded from afar.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie turned their heads to look.

On the plank road, the clear ringing of bells approached from far away, and a green donkey came slowly around the bend of the mountain. A middle-aged man with the appearance of a scholar sat on the donkey, followed by a schoolboy carrying a load.

The master and servant walked to the side of the fishing boat. The middle-aged man reined in his mount and asked Di Renjie in a loud voice: "Old man, is this the way to Wuping County?"

He smiled and said, "Ten li to the north is Wuping County."

The middle-aged man thanked them, and the master and servant went north along the plank road.

Wang Mang looked at the middle-aged man's back thoughtfully, and Di Renjie asked, "Jing Yang, what's wrong?"

Wang Mang smiled: "This middle-aged man does not seem to be an ordinary person!"

Di Renjie nodded slightly: "Yes, he looks like an official with his clothes."

"Official?"

Wang Mang raised his head.

"My lord, Jing Yang, you two, you have to analyze everything you see, this is not a case."

Suddenly, Li Yuanfang's voice came from behind Di Renjie and Wang Mang.

"Yeah, the two of them are really boring, and I don't know why sister Xiaotao and the others married Jingyang."

Ruyan's voice also came over.

Wang Mang turned his head and jokingly said: "Brother Yuanfang, Miss Ruyan, although you didn't have my wedding wine, I want to eat your wedding wine!"

Ruyan took a look at Li Yuanfang, and immediately became coy: "Who, who said that you are going to marry Li Yuanfang?"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "Jing Yang, don't make fun of us."

Wang Mang smiled: "Hi! Love between men and women is normal, and I'm feeling shy!"

As he spoke, he and Di Renjie looked at each other and laughed loudly.

Ruyan grabbed Di Renjie's arm: "Uncle! Even you make fun of me!"

Suddenly, the float in the water moved violently.

Di Renjie stood up: "Hey, there are big fish! Yuan Fang, Jing Yang, hurry up!"

Wang Mang threw down the fishing rod in his hand, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord, don't worry, slip first and then pull, don't let the fish get off the hook!"

Li Yuanfang also hurried over.

Di Renjie held his breath, pulled the fishing rod in his hand and slipped up.

"Snapped"!
A big fish jumped out of the water, splashing Di Renjie and Wang Mang all over.

Li Yuanfang hurriedly took a step forward and grabbed the fishing rod, pulling it upwards vigorously.

He struggled with his arms, and with a "bang", the big fish broke through the water and landed heavily on the deck.

Wang Mang rushed up, held the fish down hard, and said happily, "Hey, it's really a big fish, I'm afraid it weighs about twenty catties!"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Today, you are lucky."

Wang Mang smiled: "It is rare to see such a big fish. I have been fishing in Wuping for so long, and I have never seen such a big fish."

Suddenly, a woman's scream came from the cliff, followed by men's shouts.

A few people were stunned, and looked up: on the cliff beside the river, a woman rushed to the edge of the cliff, stopped, and looked around in despair.

Behind him, several men in servant uniforms yelled and rushed over.

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and others looked at the thrilling scene on the cliff in surprise.

The woman gritted her teeth fiercely, jumped off the cliff, and "plopped" into the water.

On the cliff, the servants hissed and shouted: "Quick, hurry down!"

With that said, he turned around and ran down the mountain.

Di Renjie said to Li Yuanfang and Wang Mang: "Yuanfang, Jingyang, hurry up and save people!"

Wang Mang nodded, and kicked a bamboo raft on the boat into the water.

At the same time, Li Yuanfang and Wang Mang jumped onto the bamboo cuttings. They reached out and picked up two pennies and put them under the water. The fishing boat quickly sailed towards the place where the woman fell into the water.

Ruyan rolled up her trouser legs and said, "I'm going down!"

While speaking, she jumped into the water, and within a short while lifted the woman out of the water. The bamboo raft supported by Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang also reached the place where the woman fell into the water, and the two hurriedly stretched out their hands to pull her onto the fishing boat.

Soon, Ruyan also jumped on the bamboo raft, and the bamboo raft quickly approached the fishing boat.
