Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 469 Guess
Di Renjie looked at Li Yuanfang and shook his head: "No. Since the troubled times of the North and the South, there have been many precedents for the gentry who stick to their ancestral home. Fort Du in the deep mountains to the north of Huizhou is where the Du family of the Southern Dynasties moved there to avoid wars. Their descendants built mountains and farms to support tenants.

In the past hundred years, Dubao has been surrounded by hundreds of hectares of fertile land and more than a thousand tenants. Emperor Taizong felt that Du's sincerity in starting a business, and issued a decree to praise him, and gave him the land he cultivated as Yongye Field. From this, Du's settled down and kept his ancestral business.

However, considering Wang Qiang's huge family background, living in the barren hills without going through the mountains, and without cultivating them, there is no farmland around the castle. How do they live on it? "

Li Yuanfang said: "Perhaps, the supplies they need for daily use are brought from Liangzhou."

At this time, Wang Mang understood, and asked: "Since they don't want to establish a family here, then they can move their family to Liangzhou. Why do they need to stick to the ancient castle in the mountains?"

"Makes sense."

Li Yuanfang nodded.

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie: "My lord, please continue."

Di Renjie continued: "This is very strange. Also, in this barren mountain, thieves and thieves are infested. If you want to live here for a long time, it is necessary to set up a family and guard the fort.

But what we saw was only Wang Qiang and his wife and a few servants in the castle. Let me ask, what would they rely on to defend against an attack by a strongman? "

Li Yuanfang said: "That's right, I've thought of that too. According to what Wang Qiang said, it has been at least nearly a hundred years since her ancestor lived here. If there is no way to defend, such a weak place may have already been occupied by strong people." gone."

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes, that's why Jingyang and I said that this ancient castle is very weird."

Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie and asked inquiringly: "My lord, what do you and Jing Yang mean..."

Di Renjie first looked at Wang Mang, then at Li Yuanfang, and then turned his eyes to the wall: "I don't mean anything, I just thought about what happened to Jing Yang in the past few days and what is now. , I feel that there seems to be a link in the dark, secretly connecting the things we encountered in the past two days."

Li Yuanfang was startled: "Oh, what does this mean?"

Wang Mang also looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie turned around and stared firmly into Yuan Fang's eyes: "Do you still remember the expression on Wang Qiang's face when she heard that we had been to Wangjiabao at the banquet tonight?

At that time, although he tried his best to cover it up, the feeling of surprise still made me feel very strongly. "

Li Yuanfang said: "Exactly, he was very surprised at the time."

Di Renjie continued: "Also, today Wang Qiang's clothes of the nobles of the Southern Dynasty reminded me of the statue of the black-clothed god in the black-clothed temple in Wangjiabao. There is an indescribable similarity between the two."

Li Yuanfang glanced at Di Renjie, not knowing what new discovery the lord had.

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning flashed through the window and exploded with thunder.

Di Renjie looked out the window and let out a long sigh. Suddenly, he turned his head and said, "Jing Yang, when you heard the name of that woman named Wei'er today, it seemed..."

Wang Mang smiled: "When I was young, I had a younger sister who was lost, and her name was Wei Er. I was shocked when I heard that the lady was called Wei Er."

Di Renjie nodded: "So that's the case!"

Suddenly, Wang Mang stopped talking.

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang's expression: "Jing Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it!"

Wang Mang said: "I have a vague premonition that these people in the castle seem to be related to the Black Club."

"Oh?"

Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang were taken aback.

Di Renjie asked: "Jing Yang, what did you find?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "No, it's just a vague feeling. If they are related to the members of the Black Clothes Society, it can explain why they can live here."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "That's right, if they are strongmen themselves, then what danger will there be?"

Di Renjie was silent for a long time, then he raised his head: "These are just speculations."

Wang Mang nodded: "Forget it, what are you thinking about so much, what we have to do now is to rush to Jixiang Lane in Liangzhou, and give this belt to a person named Honggu."

As he spoke, Wang Mang's eyes fell on the belt on the table.

At this time, Di Renjie picked up the belt in his hand: "What secret is hidden in this belt, and what is the internal relationship with the three words she said before she died..."

Li Yuanfang reached out to take the belt, only to see that it was embroidered with a lot of geometric patterns, and he squeezed it lightly, but there was nothing unusual.

With his hands behind his back, Di Renjie slowly walked around the room, as if he was thinking about something again.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they nodded slightly. They didn't want to disturb your lord's thoughts, and said softly, "My lord, I'll go back to the humble job first."

"My lord, I'm going back too."

Wang Mang said softly.

Di Renjie didn't look at them, but just nodded.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, they shook their heads slightly, closed the door gently and walked out.

The rooms of Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang were not together, and they separated at the door of Di Renjie's room.

The interior style of the entire castle is a uniform gray tone, the walls and floors are made of rough gray stone, and the same is true in the aisles, with some strange figures engraved on the walls.

The corridors are long and narrow, and there is a ghostly atmosphere everywhere.

Wang Mang came out of Di Renjie's room and was about to return to his own room. Suddenly, he stopped, only to hear a soft "hug" sound behind him, and Wang Mang turned around quickly.

There was no one behind him, Wang Mang shook his head wonderingly and turned to leave, only to see a little girl who looked like a maid standing in front of him.

Wang Mang was taken aback, and then laughed: "Why are you like a ghost, without a sound."

The little maid smiled and said, "It's because your ears are bad."

Wang Mang turned sideways, bowed and stretched out his hand to let the girl pass.

But the little maid didn't intend to leave, she said mischievously: "Who said I'm going to go."

Wang Mang was taken aback for a moment: "Why, why don't you go over?"

The little maid looked at him and shook her head.

Wang Mang raised his body: "I'm sorry, I'll pass first."

Said, walked past her.

With a sound of "suddenly", a hand from beside him hit his ribs like lightning, Wang Mang instinctively stood up with three fingers, and "bang", two fingers touched the palm of his hand.

Wang Mang bent his three fingers and quickly grabbed the attacker's fingers and snapped them down.

"Ouch!"

A loud cry came from beside him.

Wang Mang turned around, the little girl's fingers were held in his hands, and the little girl squatted on the ground in pain.

Wang Mang quickly let go of his hand and said, "What are you doing?"

The little maid snorted and stood up while rubbing her pinched fingers: "I didn't expect you to be so fast."

Wang Mang said coldly: "You are not slow. Unexpectedly, the little maid in this ancient castle has such good skills."

The little maid tilted her head and said with a grin: "Our wife really guessed it right, you are really good at martial arts."

Wang Mang didn't expect her expression to change so quickly, he said dumbfoundedly: "It seems that your wife is even better."

The little maid smiled noncommittally: "Maybe."
