Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 414 The Hermit Sect
In Wang Mang's study.

Wang Mang asked Shangguan Wan'er, "I don't know why Shangguan's talent came to Wuping?"

Shangguan Wan'er did not speak, she took out a bright yellow envelope from her sleeve and handed it over.

Wang Mang was taken aback when he saw the envelope, and looked up at Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er said: "The emperor's secret letter, you can take it apart and read it."

Wang Mang nodded, took it with both hands, gently tore open the envelope, took out the letter, and slowly unfolded it.

Suddenly, Wang Mang took a breath: "How is this possible?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "I can't believe it either, but this is His Majesty's intention, we can only do as it is."

Wang Mang shook his head with a wry smile: "How could the emperor believe nonsense such as longevity?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Whether we believe it or not, as long as the emperor believes it, then it is true."

Wang Mang sighed: "But, where do you find this?"

Shangguan Wan'er spread her hands: "No, I thought you were in Jiangzhou, so I came looking for you!"

Wang Mang glanced at Shangguan Wan'er: "Shangguan is talented, you have made me miserable!"

Hearing this sentence, Shangguan Wan'er snorted coldly: "When you want to solve the troubles of Baolingtang, that's not what you said."

Thinking of Shangguan Wan'er helping him, Wang Mang blushed and waved his hands: "I didn't mean that, I just sighed, no matter what, now we have to work together to find out this legendary medicine of immortality .”

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "This sounds like a human saying!"

Wang Mang asked, "However, we don't even know what this medicine looks like, so how can we find it?"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "According to the monitoring of Qin Tianjian, it is now in Jiangzhou!"

Wang Mang frowned: "What is this so-called elixir of immortality?"

Shangguan Wan'er recalled: "It is said that it is red, and the most amazing thing is that it can emit heat!"

Wang Mang asked: "It is said that who told this?"

Shangguan Wan'er glanced at Wang Mang, obviously hesitated for a while, and sighed after a long time: "You are also a Xingjun now, logically you should know these secrets, but..."

"Just what?"

Wang Mang raised his head.

Suddenly, Shangguan Wan'er sighed: "Forget it, you have to know these things in the future, do you know the hermit sect?"

Wang Mang was startled: "The hermit sect?"

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "Exactly! Why, have you heard of it?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "I just heard someone say it, and I don't know the specifics."

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Wang Mang with a half-smile, "You really don't know?"

Wang Mang nodded: "I really don't know, why should I lie to you?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly: "I have some news for you, your teacher Yuan Tiangang is from the hermit sect!"

"what?"

Wang Mang raised his head and was taken aback.

……

The conversation was divided into two parts. On the other side, Xue Qinglin was talking to Zhang Yi in the main hall of Pingnan Hou's mansion.

Zhang Yi nodded: "Master Hou, don't worry!"

Xue Qinglin nodded: "Well, this matter must be done as soon as possible, and we must not show our feet."

Suddenly, a house slave rushed over: "Master Hou! Jiangzhou Inspector Wen Kai, Wuping County Magistrate Lin Yongzhong, and that old man surnamed Di are now outside the mansion, saying they have something important to see Lord Hou."

Xue Qinglin was surprised: "What? The governor is here?"

The house slave said, "Exactly."

Xue Qinglin pondered for a while, then said: "Please."

He waved his hand at Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi stepped back quickly.

Xue Qinglin stood up and greeted him out the door.

Di Renjie, Wen Kai, and Lin Yongzhong walked quickly to the main hall under the guidance of a housekeeper.

On the opposite side, Xue Qinglin stepped forward to meet him, cupped his hands and said: "The Lord Inspector has come down, making the humble house luxuriant!"

Wen Kai hurriedly returned the gift and said: "It's been a few years since I've seen you, Lord Hou is in good health, Kai is really a blessing."

Xue Qinglin cupped his hands to Lin Yongzhong and Di Renjie and said, "Magistrate Lin, Mr. Di, please stay safe."

Lin Yongzhong smiled faintly, and returned the courtesy: "Master Chenghou remembers, Yongzhong is well."

Di Renjie smiled and cupped his hands: "Master Xue is so polite, I don't dare to be an old man."

Xue Qinglin said: "Several please."

As he spoke, he bowed his hands to the guest.

Di Renjie and his entourage walked into the main hall, where the guests and hosts were seated.

Xue Qinglin smiled and said: "Master Inspector came to Wuping, why didn't you inform Xue in advance, so that I can do my best as a landlord."

Wen Kai said: "I came to visit my teacher, Mr. Di..."

Xue Qinglin was startled, and looked at Di Renjie: "Why, this Mr. Di is the mentor of Lord Inspector?"

Wen Kai nodded and said, "Exactly."

Xue Qinglin hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm sorry."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Don't dare."

Wen Kai sighed: "Xue Hou, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Hall if you don't have anything to do. Today's visit is really an important case."

Xue Qinglin raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? I don't know what the case is, but it alarmed the governor?"

Wen Kai said: "A few days ago, the original Wuping order Huang Wenyue was killed in the Jiangzhou post."

Xue Qinglin feigned surprise and said, "What, County Magistrate Huang was killed?"

Di Renjie and Lin Yongzhong looked at each other with a sneer.

Wen Kai said: "That's right. I went to Wuping in Benzhou to ask my teacher Mr. Di for advice on this case. I don't want to, there are bloody cases in Wuping County, and the dead are all officials of the state government."

Xue Qinglin said: "Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Di Renjie quietly observed the expression on his face.

Wen Kai sighed softly and said, "The night before yesterday, Jiangzhou Sima Ge Bin was killed in the Pingyang Inn. Last night, Jiangzhou Law Cao Zhang Xiangong and Yin Cao Wu Shun were killed on the night boat back to Jiangzhou... "

Xue Qinglin exclaimed: "What, this, these three adults all died in Wuping?"

Di Renjie watched the slight change of expression on his face, coughed lightly, and said: "Yes. Now, we have confirmed that the murderer of these adults is the same murderer. This person is wearing a black cloak and holds a Iron spine, the method of killing people is very simple, hit the back of the head with the iron spine in the palm."

Xue Qinglin gasped and nodded slowly.

Di Renjie's eyes fell on the round neck robe Xue Qinglin was wearing. This is a silk robe, and the material and workmanship of the clothes are very elegant.

A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face: "Xue Hou, Master Huang Wenyue is Xue Hou's friend, and everyone knows that."

Xue Qinglin nodded: "Yes, County Magistrate Huang is a loyal person, and his administration is fair and peaceful. He is really a rare good county magistrate!"

A sneer of disdain appeared on Lin Yongzhong's face.

Di Renjie said: "Today, the three of us visited the Hou's mansion to ask, besides County Magistrate Huang, are the other three deceased acquainted with Lord Hou?"

Xue Qinglin was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I have only heard the names of these three adults, but I don't know each other."

Di Renjie nodded: "That's right. Master Xue, this case is complicated and involves Huang Guogong's treason case ten years ago..."

"what?"

Xue Qinglin was startled and raised his head.
