Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 400 Suspicious Clouds
Suddenly, Di Renjie sighed: "Jing Yang, I know what you mean, but I'm a little old now, and I really don't want to run around and get tired."

Wang Mang smiled and shook his head: "My lord, you are only in your sixties now, you are in your prime, and it is also a good time to display your ambitions. Look at the emperor who is now in his eighties, and he is not dealing with government affairs every day."

Di Renjie smiled: "Jing Yang, with your mouth, you can speak eloquently, and you abruptly called me, an old man in sixties, a mature man!"

Wang Mang smiled: "Only a good official like you can do something for the people. If there are King Liang and his ilk in the court, I'm afraid the world will not be peaceful."

Di Renjie patted Wang Mang's shoulder: "Jing Yang, it's better not to say anything like this in the future."

Wang Mang nodded in agreement, "I'm just talking casually in front of you. I know that as long as the emperor is around, King Liang will not be defeated."

Di Renjie sighed and did not speak.

At this time, the door sounded, and Ruyan walked in. When she saw Wang Mang and Di Renjie were talking, she stuck out her tongue and slowly retreated out of the hall.

Di Renjie raised his head and said, "Ruyan, come in."

Ruyan returns to the hall.

Ruyan said embarrassedly: "Master Hou is here too! Uncle, let's get down to business, my daughter will leave first."

Wang Mang smiled: "Miss Ruyan, that's not necessary, my lord and I just chatted casually."

At this time, Di Renjie turned his head: "How is it, has Jin Niang settled down?"

Ruyan nodded: "I arranged her in the east wing of the backyard, closer to me."

Di Renjie sighed: "This child has just lost a loved one. He is lonely and helpless. Poor, you have to take good care of him."

Ruyan said: "You can rest assured."

Di Renjie nodded.

Wang Mang also sighed: "Jinniang is a miserable person."

Ruyan smiled: "Master Hou, don't worry, I just recognized her as my younger sister!"

Di Renjie smiled, but did not speak.

At this moment, Ruyan glanced at Wang Mang and Di Renjie, and said hesitantly, "Uncle, Lord Hou, have you noticed that Jinniang seems, seems a little strange."

Di Renjie turned around: "Oh?"

Wang Mang was also surprised, he raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Ruyan said: "She is young, but she always seems to be preoccupied. It seems, it seems that there is something hidden in her heart."

Di Renjie didn't speak, and started to pace slowly in the room.

Hearing this, Wang Mang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but said with an unchanged face: "She died at a young age, it's a very normal thing!"

Ruyan shook her head, and continued: "Master Hou, that's not what I'm talking about."

Wang Mang asked, "What is that?"

At this moment, Di Renjie stopped in his tracks: "What do you want to say?"

Ruyan smiled and said, "Maybe I'm worrying too much."

Di Renjie turned around: "Speak, no one will blame you."

Wang Mang also looked at Ruyan.

Ru Yan said: "According to what Jinniang said, last night, Xue Qinglin wanted to rape her forcibly, but she refused to obey, so she escaped from Pingnanhou's mansion and returned home."

Di Renjie nodded: "Not bad."

Ru Yan said: "Uncle, Lord Hou, please think about how fierce and domineering Pingnan Marquis Xue Qinglin is, and his evil slaves are even more like wolves and tigers.

How could a weak girl like Jinniang escape from the clutches of these thieves?This matter is quite incredible. "

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face: "Okay, Ruyan, I really didn't expect you to have such a detailed judgment and analysis of things. It seems that you have made great progress over the past year or so!"

Wang Mang raised his eyebrows: "This matter is indeed a bit strange."

Ruyan laughed: "You've thought of it a long time ago, haven't you?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes. Before Jing Yang and you entered the door, I was thinking about this question. This is just one of many questions."

Wang Mang raised his head: "Sir, do you have any questions?"

Di Renjie gave Wang Mang a strange look: "Jing Yang, what's wrong with you today?"

Wang Mang touched his face: "Nothing?"

Di Renjie said: "Is this not like your usual behavior?"

Wang Mang smiled awkwardly: "Maybe I was thinking about Ping Nanhou, and I was a little negligent about Jin Niang!"

Di Renjie nodded, but did not speak.

At this time, Ruyan asked: "Uncle, did you just say that there are other things?"

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie: "My lord, what's the problem, I really didn't expect it."

Di Renjie said: "You asked a good question just now. How about it, I'll ask you a question too."

Ruyan said: "Uncle, please tell me."

Wang Mang nodded: "My lord, tell me."

Di Renjie said: "Let's put it this way, Jinniang was able to escape from the clutches of Xue Qinglin and the evil slaves because of a fluke. Then after she escaped from Pingnanhou's Mansion, her first choice would be to run to Where is it?"

Ruyan was stunned: "The first choice?"

Wang Mang thought about it, but didn't speak.

Di Renjie nodded: "Let me ask this question in a different way. If you two were Jinniang, where would you go after you escaped from the Hou Mansion by chance?"

Ruyan pondered.

Wang Mang also frowned, thinking.

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it, just speak your most direct thoughts."

Wang Mang and Ruyan looked at each other, and said, "I will run to the deep mountains and hide, so that the people in the Hou Mansion can't find me, and I will go home when things calm down."

Ruyan nodded: "My thoughts are the same as Lord Hou's."

Di Renjie laughed: "Very correct, this is the first choice. But what about Jinniang?"

Ruyan seemed to understand a bit: "She chose to escape back home..."

Wang Mang nodded slightly: "Yes!"

Di Renjie said, "Yes. According to what she said, after she escaped from the Hou's Mansion, she went straight back to her home in Xiaopu Village."

Ruyan nodded and said, "Exactly."

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie and didn't speak.

Di Renjie said: "Isn't this the most unreasonable move? Jingyang, Ruyan, let me ask you another question, or your most direct thoughts."

Wang Mang and Ruyan looked at each other, and they nodded.

Di Renjie asked: "If you are the evil slaves under Xue Qinglin and you are ordered to arrest Jinniang, where is the first place you will go?"

Ruyan said without hesitation: "Of course it's Jinniang's family."

Wang Mang nodded.

Di Renjie asked, "Why?"

Wang Mang said: "Because I don't know where Jinniang fled to, so I can only go to her home first, guard her home, hold her father hostage, and arrest Jinniang as soon as she shows up."

Ruyan nodded slightly.

Di Renjie nodded with a smile: "Very good. The idea of ​​escape and arrest is completely different between the escaped and the arrested.

Therefore, the first choice of the fugitive is definitely not to go home, but as you just said, find a place to hide first, and then sneak back to visit after the limelight passes. "

Wang Mang nodded: "Not bad."

Di Renjie said: "Besides, if you escape home, not only will you not be able to escape, but it will also bring endless disasters to my father. I think it is absolutely impossible for Jinniang not to have thought of this. Then, why would she do this against common sense? What about the matter?"

Wang Mang nodded: "This is really strange."

Di Renjie said: "Jinniang is not an easy girl. There must be some secret hidden in her."

"secret?"

Wang Mang was taken aback.

Ruyan was also stunned.

Wang Mang asked, "My lord, what secret will she have?"

Di Renjie shook his head, but did not speak.
