Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 524 Tongyang Station
Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang, so Wang Kai is also a member of the Black Clothes Club?"

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, it's just that he always wanted to eliminate another group of forces, but unexpectedly, we eliminated his forces."

Di Renjie took a deep breath.

Zeng Tai was stunned, he opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Wang Mang continued: "In the afternoon, when Liao Wen came to his senses, his words were full of loopholes, and my lord and I were sure on the spot that he must be lying, and the reason was of course that he was afraid of telling the truth that he would be blamed.

So, after nightfall, my lord and I acted out this scene, cleverly tricked him, and finally forced him to tell the truth himself. "

Liao Wenqing let out a long sigh, and said, "It's really impossible to guard against! I thought my remarks were perfect, but who would have thought..."

Suddenly, he looked at Di Renjie: "My lord, Liao Wenqing has been a man for two generations, and he knows that his sins are serious, and he only wants to die quickly!"

Di Renjie let out a long sigh: "You betrayed your comrades and caused an army of three thousand to die in the desert. What did you get in return? It's a fatal disaster!"

Liao Wenqing covered his face and wept in a low voice.

Di Renjie said: "Fortunately, your conscience is still alive and the law of nature is clear. You met us and rescued you, so you survived the disaster.

You survived, but have you ever thought about how the families of those sergeants who died innocently in the desert would feel? "

Liao Wenqing burst into tears: "My lord, please stop talking, I, I..."

Di Renjie let out a long sigh, and said, "Okay, now that you are recovering from a serious injury, you should take a good rest.

Liao Wenqing, I'll just tell you one thing, it's not too late to mend the situation.

Think about it again, maybe you have missed some details in our conversation today.

Perhaps, for me, that is precisely the most important. "

Liao Wenqing seemed to suddenly think of something, and raised his head suddenly.

Di Renjie stared at him with bright eyes.

……

Tongyang Station.

Qianniuwei surrounded the post station.

Zeng Tai, Chang Shi, Sima, Shang Cao, the owner of the store, and the waiters respectfully stood in front of the door and waited.

In the distance, Wang Mang came to the post station in an official sedan chair with a team of thousands of cattle guards.

Zeng Tai said: "Jing Yang, you are here."

Wang Mang nodded: "Brother Zeng!"

Everyone hurried forward to meet them.

The guards and the official sedan chair arrived in front of the store in a blink of an eye, and Wang Mang jumped off his horse.

The official sedan chair landed, and the curtain was lowered, and Di Renjie came out.

Zeng Tai went forward and said: "Teacher, the student has checked with Chang Shi and Shang Cao who are in charge of dealing with the plague of Tianzhu merchants. Those Tianzhu merchants lived in the same inn when they fell ill."

Di Renjie nodded.

Behind him, Chang Shi led the crowd to pay homage.

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Today, when I come to this pavilion, all the etiquette is kept simple. Li Changshi, when did you receive the report and what was the situation at that time?"

Chang Shi said: "Returning to my lord, I received a report early yesterday morning that a merchant from Tianzhu who lived in the same inn was infected with a strange disease. Eight people died within one day."

Wang Mang frowned: "Strange disease?"

Di Renjie nodded: "Who is the owner of this shop?"

The boss hurried forward to salute: "My lord, that's right."

Di Renjie said: "Come on, lead me in to have a look."

The shop owner agreed, and led Di Renjie and Wang Mang to the door of the room where the Tianzhu merchants lived, and said, "My lord, those Tianzhu merchants live in this upper room."

Di Renjie asked, "When did they enter the shop?"

"I entered the store the morning before yesterday."

"Did you bring any goods?"

"There are seven or eight carriages, all wrapped in tarpaulin. I don't know what's inside."

When Di Renjie was talking to the shop owner, Wang Mang had already carefully scanned the situation in the room, and saw that there was only one set of tables, chairs and beds in the room, and the floor was clean without any trace.

Suddenly, Wang Mang asked: "Boss, did these people behave strangely after they moved in?"

The shop owner said: "Hey, you are asking. Since these Tianzhu people entered the shop, they have been mysteriously busy."

Upon hearing this, Di Renjie turned around and asked, "Oh, how do you say it?"

Wang Mang looked at the shop owner.

The shop owner came alive and said with relish: "When these people came, I received them.

At that time, there were so many of them, but they only needed one upper room.

It was very strange, so I asked a few more questions, but those people were very impatient.

Therefore, I didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Later, their own cargo was extremely valuable and wanted to be parked in the backyard.

But the backyard had to be locked and the keys handed over to them for safekeeping. "

"It's nothing, the strangest thing is that they actually asked me where I could buy blood, and said it was...

Said it was their goods to drink...

Later, I helped them inquire about a place that sells cow blood.

Since then, they have bought a large vat of cow blood and carried it to the backyard every day, which is really rare. "

Di Renjie, Wang Mang, and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and said, "You mean, their goods drink blood?"

The shop owner hurriedly said: "My lord, it's not what I said, it's from that Tianzhu man named Jiawa."

Di Renjie nodded.

Suddenly, Wang Mang seemed to remember something, and asked, "Have you seen those goods?"

The shop owner shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before. The key to the backyard is in their hands, and no one is allowed to enter."

At this moment, Chang Shi beside him interjected, "Oh, by the way, Lord Inspector, you have seen all these merchants from Tianzhu before."

Zeng Tai was taken aback, and asked, "Have I seen it?"

Chang Shi said: "Exactly, those few Tianzhu people who met you and asked to leave the customs."

Zeng Tai was startled, and said, "It's them?"

Chang Shi nodded.

Hearing this, Wang Mang looked at Zeng Tai full of doubts: "Why, Brother Zeng, have you seen them?"

Zeng Tai said: "After retreating and closing the way, these people asked to leave the customs early, but I refused."

Di Renjie lowered his head and muttered to himself: "These merchants from Tianzhu lived in the store with goods that would drink blood, and they were so eager to leave the city. What's the mystery here?"

Wang Mang asked the store owner, "What do their goods look like?"

The shop owner said: "The carriage is flat, and the goods inside are very high. From the outside, there are edges and gaps, it looks like a big wooden cage."

Wang Mang said in surprise, "You mean, there is a big wooden cage on the carriage?"

The shop owner said a little uncertainly: "It seems to be."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and asked, "Is the khaki thatch wrapping the goods?"

The shop owner nodded and said, "Yes, yes, how did you know? That kind of thatch color is really rare in our place."

Wang Mang lowered his voice and said to Di Renjie, "It's exactly the same as what Brother Yuanfang and I saw in the backyard of Guiyi Bo's Mansion."

Di Renjie was startled: "Oh?"

Wang Mang nodded.
