Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 494
The torrential rain swept across the garden of Bofu, and the rising mist filled the air, blurring everything.

In the rain and fog, a black shadow flashed across the garden like lightning, and ran towards the west courtyard.

With a "squeak", the door opened, and Yan'er walked in quickly.

She let out a long breath, picked up the torch on the table, and lit the lantern.

Her hands stopped suddenly, her eyes stared fixedly at the table.

On the table in the room, there were two sets of rain robes worn by men, and two rain hats beside them.

Water dripped on the ground along the raincoat and rain hat.

Yan'er was startled suddenly, trembling all over, and asked tremblingly: "Who, who is here?"

no answer.

She picked up the lantern and looked around, suddenly, a hand was stretched out in the darkness and tightly covered her mouth.

……

With a "bang", the wind lamp fell to the ground and went out immediately, and the room was pitch black.

In the rain and fog, two black shadows quickly hid under the back hall window.

The two were wearing loose rain robes, their faces could not be seen clearly, but their figures seemed to be Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang.

They walked slowly towards the back hall door.

With a "squeak" the door of the back hall opened, and Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang walked in lightly, their faces covered by long rain hats.

For some reason, their steps seemed a little slow.

Lightning lit up in front of the door, and Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang walked to the center of the back hall.

There was a sound of thunder, and amidst the thunder, the door of the back hall was closed, and Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang turned their heads in surprise.

At this time, a bang bell suddenly sounded in the hall, and then, there was the sound of hidden weapons breaking through the sky like a storm in the darkness.

The bodies of Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang floated out like flying catkins amidst the terrifying loud noise, hit the wall of the back hall heavily, and fell to the ground.

With a sound of "poof", the hall lighted up, the secret door on the back gable opened, and brothers Wang Kai and Wang Qiang led the men in black robes to walk quickly to Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang.

Wang Qiang smiled grimly, "How are you, my old friends."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang remained motionless.

Wang Qiang knelt down and lifted off the rain hat Wang Mang was wearing, and he couldn't help screaming.

I saw that the body covered with hidden weapons on the ground was not Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, but it was Wei Er's personal maid Yan Er and a maid.

Yan'er and the maid had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths, their hands were tied behind their backs, and they were covered with a large raincoat.

Wang Kai gasped and said, "Well, what's going on here?"

Wang Qiang stood up abruptly: "No, I've been fooled. Go and see Wei'er!"

As he said that, he and Wang Kai led the crowd out of the back hall, braved the rain through the back garden, and ran eastward across the yard.

……

There were several men in black robes standing in front of the courtyard, guarding the side room closely.

Wei'er, Di Chun, Zhang Huan, and Li Lang sat on the ground tied together.

Wei'er looked out the window and said, "It's raining."

Suddenly, Di Chun said: "I hope the prince and General Li don't come."

Wei'er looked back at Di Chun in surprise and said, "Your Majesty? General Li? You mean Wang Jingyang and Li Yuanfang."

Di Chun nodded: "Yes!"

Wei'er asked: "Are they Lord Hou and the general?"

Di Chun asked a little strangely: "Why, madam doesn't know?"

Will shook her head.

Di Chun said: "The two of them are amazing people. The prince is a master of martial arts and unparalleled in medicine. He is the fourth-rank Xiaoyaohou who was appointed by the emperor. General Li has experienced many battles and is brave. Third-rank Qianniuwei General."

There was an unconcealable pride in his voice.

Wei Er said in surprise: "Xiaoyaohou of the fourth rank and the general of the third rank??"

Di Chun nodded and said, "Yes!"

Wei'er murmured: "Wang Kai is an earl conferred by the imperial court, and he is only a fifth rank."

Di Chun smiled wryly: "Ma'am, the count is just an honorary officer, but the general is a real job! And because the Marquis is unparalleled in medicine, he is still a celebrity around the emperor, and his status is not inferior to General Li."

Wei'er nodded half-understood, and said softly: "It's all my fault, why didn't you wait for Wang Jingyang and Li Yuanfang to come before you do anything.

Now not only has you been implicated, but I am afraid it will also put him in danger.

I have seen Wang Qiang's methods before, and it can be said to be extremely vicious.

Wang Jingyang and Li Yuanfang were defenseless, and it was difficult to escape his clutches. "

Di Chun sighed and said: "Ma'am, don't blame yourself, you also have good intentions. I hope the auspicious person and heaven will bless Wang Hou Ye and General Li to be safe."

Before the words were finished, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and the door was kicked open with a bang. Wang Kai and Wang Qiang led people to rush in. Seeing the situation in the room, Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

The four of Wei'er looked at him coldly.

Wang Qiang said to the guards: "The side room is strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to come near it."

The two guards answered yes loudly.

The Wang brothers looked at each other, walked out of the side room quickly, and the guard locked the door.

Wei'er said softly: "It seems that something happened in the mansion."

Di Chun guessed, "Could it be Lord Wang and General Li?"

Wang Kai yelled sharply outside the door: "Gather all the people in the mansion, and strictly investigate every house in the uncle's mansion, and we must find the assassin!"

The men in black robes behind them answered yes in unison, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Wei Er said: "Assassin, could the assassins he mentioned be Wang Jingyang and Li Yuanfang? In this way, they did not fall into the trap."

"Yes, Wang Mang didn't fall for the trap."

A familiar voice came from outside the door.

Di Chun blurted out, "Your Majesty! General Li!"

The door was wide open, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang stood in front of the door, and the two guards fell at their feet.

Wei Er shouted in surprise: "It's really you!"

Wang Mang walked into the room quickly, a cold light flashed, and the four of them broke the ropes.

Weier said, "How do you know we're locked up here?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, he smiled and said, "Of course Brother Wang Qiang brought us here. Well, right and wrong can't stay for long, we'll leave immediately!"

……

Return to Yibo Mansion.

Wang Qiang led people to search in the rain, and suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and blurted out, "No, I've been fooled!"

Wang Kai beside him asked puzzledly, "What's the matter, second brother?"

Wang Qiang pulled Wang Kai, and hurriedly said: "Brother, hurry up, go back to the east side room!"

The door of the side room was wide open, and the room was empty.

When Wang Kai, Wang Qiang and others saw the situation in the house, they were anxious and angry.

Wang Qiang slapped the door fiercely: "I fell into the trap of Wang Jingyang and Li Yuanfang!"

Wang Kai was also shocked: "Well, what's going on, how does he know that people are locked up here?"

Wang Qiang smiled wryly, "Of course we brought them here."

Wang Kai was stunned: "We brought them here?"

Wang Qiang shook her head and said, "Brother, why don't you understand?

They didn't know where Wei'er was locked up, so they threw stones to ask for directions and hijacked Yan'er and Shuang'er.

Let them pretend to be them and sneak into the back hall to trigger the mechanism. When we saw the bodies of Yan'er and Shuang'er, we panicked and thought they were using a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain without thinking carefully.

So I rushed here to check the situation, and they followed us, and only after we left did they start to rescue people. "

Wang Kai slapped his hands hard and said, "These two villains! Second brother, they must not be far away, let's chase after them!"

Wang Qiang shook her head and said: "It's too late, big brother. Wei'er's escape is very unfavorable to us, and it seems that they are definitely not idle people, we must be prepared."

Wang Kai nodded slowly.
