Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 496
Inside the main hall.

There were shadows in the room, and the voices of Di Renjie, Wang Mang and others could be faintly heard.

Lightning flashed frequently in the clouds, and under the faint light, a black shadow rushed quickly from the backyard, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived under the window of the west wing.

The black shadow stood up slowly, pierced the window paper and looked into the room.

In the room, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang were really talking to Di Renjie.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard not far away, and two patrol servants walked towards this side while talking.

The black shadow was taken aback, and hurriedly hid in the darkness.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang just told Di Renjie in detail what happened in Liangzhou recently.

Di Renjie was thinking about something while listening.

In the end, he nodded and asked, "You mean, there was a caravan from Tianzhu leaving the city at noon today?"

Wang Mang said: "They have the approval document from the governor's office, which says that this Tianzhu caravan may be infected with the plague. In order to avoid causing panic in the city, they were let out of the city to bury their bodies."

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "Plague?"

Wang Mang said, "That's right. It's said in the governor's official document."

"You checked the body on the car, is it really from Tianzhu?"

"Exactly."

"Tianzhu merchant, Tianzhu merchant..."

At this moment, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and Wang Mang asked: "My lord, you and Brother Zeng led people to track down the whereabouts of the money. Is there any result?"

Di Renjie sighed for a long time and said, "Nothing was found. That night, we led the army to the castle, but the gangsters from the Black Clothes Club had already evacuated, and the money was secretly transferred to other places."

Wang Mang sighed: "Sure enough, I have dealt with these people from the Black Clothes Club in Liangzhou. Although they are not many masters, their hidden ability is by no means inferior to the former snake spirits."

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes, their speed is too fast, so much money is gone overnight."

Suddenly, a stern look flashed in Li Yuanfang's eyes: "My lord, brothers Wang Qiang and Wang Qiang are all in the uncle's residence, why don't we go directly to the uncle's residence to arrest people."

Before Di Renjie could speak, Zeng Tai rushed in: "Master, it's not good, Fang Zhe has run away."

"what?"

"Ran?"

"When did this happen?"

Di Renjie, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang were shocked

Zeng Tai said: "Just now, when I went to arrest someone, I saw a black figure at the corner gate. At first I didn't pay attention, but then the more I thought about it, the more something went wrong. I hurried to the back hall, only to find that he had run away."

Wang Mang asked: "Where is the doctor? He is from my Baolingtang."

Zeng Tai said: "I was knocked out by Fang Zhe."

Wang Mang sighed: "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, he won't be far away, I'll go after him!"

Zeng Tai said: "Zhang Huan and Li Lang have already led people to chase after him."

Di Renjie nodded: "Jingyang, don't blame yourself too much, as long as he is fine, he is injured and can't run far."

Wang Mang nodded.

Li Yuanfang snorted: "This traitor, my lord, I can be sure that Fang Zhe must have betrayed the army, which led to the destruction of the army and the loss of money."

Di Renjie took a deep breath: "I hope Zhang Huan and the others can catch up!"

As soon as the words were finished, Li Lang ran in: "My lord, Zhang Huan and I were about to catch up with Fang Zhe, but he ran into Uncle Guiyi's mansion. General Zhang Huan was guarding the door and asked the humble official to report the news!"

"Return to Uncle Yi's Mansion!"

"It really is it!"

Li Yuanfang turned around and said, "Now I can be sure that Fang Zhe and Wang Qiang must have colluded to rob the salary and poison the army.

My lord, please give the order, Jing Yang and I will go and arrest them right away. "

Di Renjie took a deep breath and paced slowly.

Wang Mang also looked at Di Renjie quietly.

Suddenly, Di Renjie said: "Go and call Madam, I still have some doubts."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Wang Mang's eyes, he nodded, and said to the servant outside the door: "Come here, go and invite Mrs. Wei'er!"

"Yes!"

A young man hurried to the backyard.

Zeng Tai looked at Di Renjie: "Master, Fang Zhe has escaped, what should we do now?"

Di Renjie said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let me think about it carefully."

Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, the money that you and Brother Zeng failed to find must be hidden in the uncle's residence. Jing Yang and I saw with our own eyes what Brother Wang Qiang was plotting. Maybe the money was hidden in their dark room in the back hall."

Di Renjie asked: "Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, have you ever gone in?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they shook their heads.

Suddenly, Wang Mang said: "Although we haven't gone in, Mrs. Weier must have gone in."

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "There is no payment in the darkroom."

Wang Mang and others turned their heads, and it was Madam Weier who walked in.

Weier said: "My lord, ever since you escaped from the castle that day, Wang Qiang felt that something was wrong, so he immediately arranged to transfer the goods in the underground hall.

According to what you just said, those carriages should be the court's salary. "

Di Renjie nodded and said: "It must be so. Do you know where they transferred the payment?"

Wei'er recalled: "At that time, I sneaked into the underground hall to observe secretly, and saw a dozen black-clothed guardians standing in the underground hall, and Wang Qiang whispered something to them.

Later, a roar was heard from the underground hall, and the northwest wall was slowly opened to both sides, revealing a hidden secret passage.

Under Wang Qiang's order, the guardian in black escorted the silver car into the secret passage. "

Di Renjie nodded and said, "It's exactly the same as the conclusion we got from exploring the castle.

Zeng Tai and I led the army to chase forward along the dark passage, and at dawn we came to a death valley surrounded by cliffs, and there was no passage in the valley. "

Wei'er said: "That is the only way to the 'Mountain of Darkness' of the Black Clothes Society's general forum."

"Oh?"

"That canyon is called the 'Valley of Death'. It is said that only nine people from the Black Clothes Society can pass there."

"Which nine people?"

"Adults may not be clear, but the structure of the Black Clothes Club is actually very simple.

There is a general leader in the society - the Great God in black, wearing a black robe embroidered with gold, who is called the king of heaven by the people in the society.

Below it are eight paladins arranged according to the eight trigrams.

The positions of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Gen, Li, Kan, Dui, and Xun are called holy knights in the society, and they wear black robes embroidered with silver.

There are 32 temples below, [-] black-clothed protectors, and each black-clothed protector governs five to ten subordinates.

And the great god in black and the eight paladins meet twice a month, which is called a monthly meeting.

Only in these two days, only nine of them can reach the main altar of the 'Mountain of Darkness' through the secret door in the 'Valley of Death'. "

A light flashed in Di Renjie's eyes: "That's right. Then, where is the secret door in the 'Valley of Death'?"

Wang Mang also looked at Wei'er thoughtfully. This Wei'er knew too much about the Black Clothes Club, and he had arranged many people to know about it.
