Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 500 The Imperial Decree Arrives
Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang, who asked, "Brother Yuanfang, where did this case start?"

Li Yuanfang said: "The salary was robbed."

Di Renjie nodded and said: "That's right. Before we set off to clear the castle last time, we had done a similar analysis. Although the hijacking of salary is the most important step in this plan, it is not the core of the plan, let alone the ultimate goal.

This point can be confirmed from the dead in Barren Mountain Castle, Hongjiabao, and those horrible little red dots found in these two places and in the back garden of Guiyibo Mansion.

If the Black Clothes Club hijacked the salary just for the sake of money, then after the incident in the desert, they could completely disappear and no longer act.However, the current situation is exactly the opposite. "

Li Yuanfang nodded slowly and said: "I understand. The theme of what you said is to find out the real purpose of their hijacking of the 500 million taels of payment."

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, this is the key to this case."

There was a smile on Di Renjie's face: "It's very accurate. But to find out this point, the real situation of the robbery of salaries in the desert at that time is very important."

Before the words were finished, the door opened, and Zeng Tai walked in quickly: "Teacher."

Di Renjie nodded.

Di Renjie continued: "However, there are still a few questions before we understand clearly."

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at each other and asked, "What question?"

Di Renjie said: "Firstly, the [-] troops who sent the salaries were wiped out in the desert, but this Liao Wenqing was the only one who lost his whereabouts, and the place where we found him was the desert where the army had an accident. In the nearly three hundred miles of barren mountains in Liangzhou, isn't this distance strange?"

Wang Mang nodded: "I also felt very strange at the time, but I didn't think about it."

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai nodded and said, "That's right, it's really strange to think about it now."

Di Renjie said: "Secondly, there was only one day between when the salary was robbed and when we found him in the mountains, and when we found him, he was seriously injured and passed out among the rubble.

May I ask, how did such a seriously injured person travel three hundred miles in one day, from the desert to the barren mountains? "

Zeng Tai said: "Could it be that he ran into the deep mountains and was ambushed by villains?"

Wang Mang said: "There is such a possibility. But if he was clear-headed when he escaped from the scene of the crime, as a lieutenant general of the army, why didn't he rush to Liangzhou to report the news, but ran to the mountains through Liangzhou City?"

Zeng Tai nodded and said, "Yes, this is indeed strange."

Li Yuanfang said: "Don't talk about poisoned people, even normal people can't run more than three hundred miles a day, unless..."

Di Renjie said: "Unless you are a postman carrying urgent documents for six hundred miles."

Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "Not bad."

Wang Mang said: "My lord, these questions can only be answered by Brother Wang Qiang."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and didn't speak.

Zeng Tai said: "Teacher, I think the imperial edict is coming soon. Once we have the emperor's permission, we can seize Guiyi Bo's mansion."

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes, we can't act rashly yet."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and Wang Mang nodded slightly.

Suddenly, Wang Mang said: "My lord, why don't Brother Yuan Fang and I visit the uncle's residence again?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment, then said: "Be careful, don't startle the snake."

Wang Mang nodded: "Don't worry!"

Li Yuanfang also nodded.

……

night.

The lanterns in the main hall of Guiyibo Mansion were lit up.

Wang Kai rushed to the front of the hall, and the servant who had been waiting at the entrance of the main hall whispered a few words to him, Wang Kai was surprised and said, "Quick, please!"

The servant turned and ran.

After a while, Fang Zhe was led by the servants to the front of the main hall. Wang Kai hurried up to meet them, and the two whispered a few words.

Wang Kai said to the servant beside him, "Go and invite the second master here."

The servant agreed and walked quickly to the back garden.

Wang Kai and Fang Zhe walked into the main hall hand in hand, and the door was closed.

With a flash of figures, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang tumbling down from the eaves like lightning, leaned in front of the window, broke the window paper and looked into the hall.

In the hall, Wang Kai and Fang Zhe were talking in low voices.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer.

Suddenly, a light flickered in the distance, and Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang hurriedly turned around and hid themselves behind the pillars.

With the sound of footsteps, the servant led Wang Qiang to the front of the main hall with a lantern. Wang Qiang pushed the door and entered, and the servant turned and left.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang turned out from behind the pillars, approached the broken window paper, and saw Fang Zhe, Wang Kai, and Wang Qiang talking hurriedly in the hall, their voices were very low.

Wang Kai patted Fang Zhe on the shoulder, pointed to Wang Qiang, and said a few words. Wang Qiang nodded repeatedly, and then the three walked to the gable, opened the secret door and walked in.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, they nodded slightly, their figures flashed and disappeared into the night.

……

early morning.

Liangzhou City.

The thick city gate slowly opened amidst the roar, and a group of heavily armed Qianniu Guards cavalry surrounded by a golden carriage galloped into the city with guards of honor, and the rumbling sound of the carriage echoed in the night sky.

The sound of drums was loud and close, and Zeng Tai led the staff of Liangzhou governor's government into the lobby.

The heavily armed Qianniu Guards lined up on both sides of the main hall, and the imperial envoy and prime minister Zhang Jian sat in the center of the hall with an imperial edict in their hands.

Seeing Zeng Tai and his subordinates coming, the exclusive ceremony official said loudly: "The governor of Liangzhou welcomes the imperial envoy!"

Zeng Tai led the people of the government to throw up their robes and knelt down, and said loudly: "I am the governor of Liangzhou, Zeng Tai, and the officials of the yamen are here to welcome the imperial envoy!"

Zhang Jianzhi got up and walked to the middle of the hall, raised the imperial decree in his hand and said: "Master Zeng, the imperial decree has arrived, please accept it."

Zeng Tai's hands trembled slightly, and he kowtowed respectfully: "Chen Tai, governor of Liangzhou, is waiting for the imperial edict!"

Zhang Jianzhi unfolded the imperial decree and read it aloud: "The decree is for Zeng Tai, the governor of Liangzhou. As I have seen in the previous article, the 500 million taels of silver that was ordered to be distributed to the border customs disappeared mysteriously in the desert. In the Ertang text, it was thought that an evil god was captive. What is right and wrong remains to be seen. survey.

Although the incident is not all due to the other party, but the lack of strict governance has caused the evil spirits of the North to run rampant here, causing the national currency to be wasted and the Guanhe to be restless. The responsibility is not trivial, and it should be severely punished.

However, I think that you have worked hard to guard the border rivers, and taught farming and mulberry. Over the years, you have achieved outstanding achievements and are praised by Li and Shu. Because you are temporarily staying in the post, you will not be severely punished. Let me explain in detail.

Today, I am writing the internal history Di Renjie to dethrone the northwest..."

Surprised and delighted, Zeng Tai raised his head.

Zhang Jianzhi continued to read, "...to picket this case, we should work together wholeheartedly. I respect this!"

Zeng Tai kowtowed his head: "My minister, Zeng Tai, is extremely apprehensive and grateful, long live, long live, long live!"

Zhang Jianzhi said: "Master Zeng please come up."

Zeng Tai stood up, and Zhang Jianzhi handed the imperial edict into Zeng Tai's hands.
