Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 388 A chance encounter?

Li Yuanfang said: "I heard that Xue Wanche has the courage to be undeserved. Before the change of Xuanwumen, he took refuge in Prince Jiancheng's command, and was taken in by Emperor Taizong later."

Di Renjie nodded and said: "Exactly. 20 years ago, this Xue Qinglin was just a third-class captain of light vehicles relying on Zu Yin, and he lived in Jiangzhou. However, a big injustice case at that time made him rise to the top .”

Li Yuanfang asked, "What big injustice?"

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, you should know about this too, right?"

Wang Mang nodded, and he let out a long sigh: "I heard people say that after the defeat of King Li Zhen of Yue, Xue Qinglin was living under the door of Li Ai, the Duke of Huang in Jiangzhou. Collusion, plotting rebellion."

Li Yuanfang thumped the table heavily: "This despicable villain!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes. Huang Guogong Li Ai is the nephew of Emperor Taizong and the cousin of the first emperor. He is modest and polite, cautious in his words and deeds, never bullying others, and has a very high prestige in Jiangzhou.

At that time, the emperor first ascended to the Great Treasure, and his foundation was not stable. He was already wary of the Li family heir. When he heard about this, he was furious. After copying and beheading, nearly a hundred descendants of the Li family were seated in succession.

This tragedy was the biggest purge of the Li family after the Yue Wang Rebellion.

So far, the descendants of the Li surname have been almost wiped out! "

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they both heaved a long sigh.

Di Renjie continued: "And because of this false accusation, Xue Qinglin was favored by the emperor. The Holy Majesty personally issued an edict to reward him, and bestowed him a Marquis, hereditary.

Just like that, Xue Qinglin stepped on the blood of Li's clan heir and sat on Pingnanhou's chair. "

Ru Yan bitterly said: "This kind of person will definitely die!"

Di Renjie sighed and said, "It's been more than twenty years since this incident happened. I remember that I was the Minister of Dali Temple at that time, and I witnessed the whole process of massacring Huang Guogong's family. It was really tragic. The scene is still vivid in my mind! "

Li Yuanfang nodded: "The emperor kills people like hemp, I think her heart will not be at peace in this lifetime."

Wang Mang's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

Di Renjie said: "It's understandable for the emperor to do this. Under the circumstances at that time, if she didn't take decisive action, it would be difficult to preserve her status. What is hateful is that Xue Qinglin and other rebellious officials and thieves are really the most evil among all evils! "

The four of them were talking, when the second person in the store quickly walked over with fish soup, and said with a smile, "Mr. Di, the fish spirit you caught is here!"

Di Renjie laughed loudly: "Okay, let it go."

Xiao Er put down the fish soup and retreated.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Come on, try this fish essence I caught."

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Ruyan raised their chopsticks with a smile.

……

It was at noon, and the smoke from cooking in Xiaopu Village was rising, only the front of Wu Si's house was deserted.

A petite figure flashed through the door, it was Jinniang.

The stools and tables in the house were overturned, and it was a mess.

When she saw this situation, she was stunned immediately, and called softly: "Father."

no answer.

She opened the door curtain of the east side room, and the side room was empty, without Wu Si's shadow.

Jinniang took a deep breath and sat down on the kang slowly.

Suddenly there was a sound of light footsteps outside the house, Jinniang was startled, she tapped her toes lightly, and her whole body jumped on the beam like a swallow.

At this moment, the door opened, Jinniang's ears moved slightly, she let out a sigh of relief, jumped down lightly, grabbed the hoe by the door, and hid beside the side door.

The door curtain was lifted, and an old lady walked in. Jin Niang put down the hoe in her hand and said softly, "Ms. Hu."

The old lady was startled: "Jin Niang, you, are you back?"

Jinniang nodded.

The old lady said: "Just now I heard a voice here, so I came here to take a look. You, how did you come back?"

Jin Niang said: "I escaped back. Auntie, where is my father?"

The old lady shook her head: "He went to the Yamen to complain early in the morning."

Jin Niang was shocked: "What, he, he went to the county to sue?"

The old lady nodded: "Yes."

Jinniang stomped her feet severely: "It's broken! Oh, he, he is so confused, I told him, don't leave the house!"

The old lady said: "Not long after he left, those goddamned gangsters from the Pingnanhou Mansion came and turned this place upside down."

Jin Niang said: "No, I have to go find him!"

The old lady grabbed her and said, "Good boy, I don't think you should go. Those bastards in Pingnanhou's mansion are looking for you everywhere. If they find you, you will be finished. Go hide at my house first, your father Will be back in a while."

Jinniang said anxiously: "No, ma'am, you don't know, that magistrate of Huang county wears a pair of trousers with Pingnanhou's mansion, in case they take my father... oh, I have to hurry!"

The old lady said: "Son, you must be careful!"

Jinniang said, "Don't worry."

With that said, she hurried out the door.

……

In the county restaurant, Di Renjie and the others chatted while eating.

Suddenly, there was a crisp bell sound outside the door, Wang Mang raised his head, and it was the master and servant who were asking the way on the plank road, walking in the door quickly.

When the middle-aged man saw Di Renjie and the others, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Isn't the old man the old man fishing in the river?"

Di Renjie nodded with a smile: "Mr. is a person who is in a hurry on the plank road."

The middle-aged man smiled: "Xiao Ke Lin Yongzhong, dare to ask the old man's name?"

Di Renjie smiled: "The surname is Di, Di Huaiying."

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "I have learned."

Di Renjie said: "Meeting twice in one day, it can be said to be destined. If you don't dislike it, how about inviting the same table for dinner?"

The middle-aged man declined and said, "How dare you bother me when we meet by chance."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor in the world. Sir, you are serious."

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "What the old man said is true, so you're welcome."

As he spoke, he walked quickly to the table, and Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, and Ruyan hurriedly made room for him.

After Lin Yongzhong sat down, he looked at Wang Mang and the others, and asked, "Mr. Di, who are these?"

Di Renjie said: "These are my nephews and descendants."

Wang Mang and the others had just greeted Lin Yongzhong. At this time, Xiao Er brought up the bowl and chopsticks and joked: "Mister, you have caught up. Mr. Di just caught a fish spirit today."

Lin Yongzhong was taken aback: "Spirit of fish?"

Everyone around burst into laughter.

Only then did Lin Yongzhong understand that this was a joke, and he laughed too.

Di Renjie said, "Please."

Lin Yongzhong stopped being polite, and raised his chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at him carefully, with calm and elegant cheeks with vicissitudes, slender and withered right hand, and three-section brocade round collar robe.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
