Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 557 Yu Zhong
Di Renjie said coldly: "Based on what you have done tonight, this group of villains like you can be sentenced to death in court!"

Yu Zhong lowered his head trembling all over.

Di Renjie looked at him.The tone changed from anger to prestige: "However, this pavilion has the virtue of being kind to life, and we know that you are not the main criminal, so this is the opportunity for you. I hope you can tell the person behind the scenes, and maybe you can get away with it.

Unexpectedly, you are cunning and naughty, in the face of overwhelming evidence, you dare to shirk and blame, it is really abhorrent!

It seems that you still don't know what Jingzhao Mansion is! "

As he spoke, he slapped his guts hard and shouted, "Come on, please punish me!"

Immediately, there was the sound of rolling wheels from the back of the hall, and seven large wooden beams were pushed out and placed in the center of the hall, majestic and murderous.

Yu Zhong could not help but tremble all over.

Di Renjie looked at Yu Zhong who was already trembling, and said loudly: "The "Yonghui Law" is clearly stipulated. For murderers who refuse to plead guilty with solid evidence, they will be sentenced to death without fault! Do you know what it means?"

Yu Zhong stared at the large pincer, his upper and lower jaws were rattling, and he couldn't say a word.

Di Renjie said: "It means that even if you are tortured to death in court, the court official does not have to bear any responsibility! Do you understand?"

With a "plop", Yu Zhong put his elbows on the ground, climbed a few steps, and kowtowed like a pounding: "My lord, my lord, spare your life, spare your life! The small ones wish to recruit, and the small ones recruit truthfully!"

Di Renjie shouted: "Say!"

Yu Zhong confessed: "The slender household in the inn was indeed killed by the young man."

Di Renjie's eyes were burning with anger: "Why, why did you do such a heartless thing?"

Yu Zhong didn't dare to look into Di Renjie's eyes, he lowered his head and said: "Shangguan dispatched, the villain can't help himself!"

Di Renjie suppressed his anger and asked again: "Who is your superior?"

Yu Zhong said: "The six younger ones are the catchers of the Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen, and the Shangguan is Wang Zhou, the envoy of Cao Cao."

"Wang Zhou?"

"Exactly."

"Why did he kill these slender households?"

"Returning to my lord, two months ago, there was news from the middle of Beijing that there were Yangzhou slender households who went to various ministries to submit complaints to the Water Transport Yamen.

When Mr. Wang heard about this, he led me to go to Beijing overnight, and wanted to arrest these slender households and return them to Yangzhou for further disposal.

Unexpectedly, after we arrived in Beijing, we searched all the inns and post houses, but we couldn't find any trace of them.

Mr. Wang had no choice but to stay in Beijing, and ordered the six of us to search for traces of complainants in every corner of the city every day. "

Di Renjie continued to ask: "Today, you finally saw that Fang Jiu's appeal was rejected on Zhuque Street. No, his complaint was accepted by this court, so you went back and reported to Wang Zhou, and he ordered you to kill and silence. "

Yu Zhong nodded and said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie slammed his fist on the table: "Bastard!"

Yu Zhong was shocked all over, and raised his head timidly.

Di Renjie asked sharply, "Where is Wang Zhou, the Cao Protector?"

Yu Zhong hurriedly said: "It's in the Tongyang Station where the little ones live."

Di Renjie turned his head and said to Shen Fu Yin who was at the side: "Master Shen, immediately order someone to arrest Yangzhou Cao Cao envoy Wang Zhou to the Yamen!"

Mr. Shen said: "Yes."

As he spoke, he beckoned to a fast-moving squad leader, gave some instructions in a low voice, and the squad leader led the team to leave quickly.

Di Renjie pointed at Yu Zhong, and said to Zhang Gu beside him, "Ask him to sign the confession!"

Zhang Gu held up the confession and walked quickly into the hall, where Yu Zhong pressed his fingerprints.

At this moment, Zhang Huan entered the hall and bowed to report: "My lord, Fang Jiu, a slender household from Yangzhou, is now outside the hall!"

Di Renjie's face immediately brightened: "Quick, invite him in!"

Zhang Huan turned around and went down the hall. After a while, Fang Jiu led his daughter Xiaolan into the hall.

Di Renjie got up and left his seat to meet him.

When Fang Jiu saw Di Renjie's knees "plop" and fell to his knees, he cried bitterly: "My lord, little Fang Jiu was wronged!"

A cry of injustice filled the room with compassion.

Di Renjie let out a long sigh, and helped Fang Jiu up: "Fang Jiu, I know everything. Blame me, blame me for not thinking carefully, and causing the villagers to suffer cruelly."

Fang Jiu held Di Renjie's hand, tears rolling down his face: "My lord, they, they won't let the villain go..."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "I know, I know. Fang Jiu, come and see, is this the murderer who killed the villagers?"

Fang Jiu raised his head and followed Di Renjie's fingers, while Yu Zhong, who was opposite him, lowered his head and shrunk his neck to avoid Fang Jiu's gaze.

Fang Jiu's eyes were burning, and he took a step forward and said, "That's right! My lord, he is the one who took the lead!"

Di Renjie said: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring them to justice and avenge the villagers!"

Fang Jiu knelt down on the ground again, kowtowed his head: "Thank you, my lord!"

Di Renjie quickly helped him up: "Fang Jiu, from today onwards, you will follow by my side!"

Fang Jiu nodded with tears in his eyes.

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Put these murderous thieves to the court."

The yamen servants escorted Yu Zhong down the hall.

Zeng Tai and Lord Shen walked to Di Renjie's side.

Lord Shen sighed sincerely: "I've heard that Di Renjie solves cases like a god, but I didn't expect him to be so godlike.

I would like to ask Mr. Ge, how did you think that the murderer was the official of Yangzhou Water Transport Yamen? "

Di Renjie said: "After the murder, I came to the scene and questioned the shop owner.

The shop owner said that the people who came were five or six government servants wearing official uniforms, but their official uniforms were embroidered with red silk borders.

At that time, I thought it was strange that the official uniforms worn by the officers of the yamen of the various ministries in the capital were all embroidered with yellow silk.

After returning to the hotel, I carefully recalled what the shop owner said, and connected Fang Jiu’s grievances to me. I immediately thought that the official uniforms worn by the officers of the various canal envoys under the Ministry of Water were embroidered with red silk. side.

After reaching this conclusion, I ordered Zeng Tai to go to Jingzhao Mansion to ask you to help you search, and sure enough, I found the traces of these villains. "

Mr. Shen sighed in admiration: "Oh, that's right."

Zeng Tai asked: "Master, why did they commit crimes in official uniforms? Isn't that too ostentatious."

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "The official uniforms of the Ministry of Water are different from ordinary official uniforms except for the border embroidery. The rest are ordinary, and it is difficult for ordinary people to identify them. They can easily confuse them.

Moreover, it is more convenient to act in official uniforms.

Just imagine, if they asked the shop owner about the whereabouts of the tenants in plain clothes, the boss would not easily tell them. "

Zeng Tai nodded and said, "Not bad."

Di Renjie continued: "After receiving your report, I think that once arrested rashly, these villains will definitely try their best to deny and evade in court.

So I decided to startle the snake, and use the method of ringing a gong to let Fang Jiu hear it, and secondly let the gangsters hear it.

These people are finding no trace of Fang Jiu, and upon hearing the warning, they will definitely come to Xuanwu Street to wait, and this is our chance. "

Zeng Tai asked: "Master, how do you know they will definitely come?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "First, they couldn't find Fang Jiu, so they would wait in front of the mansion even if they were thinking of luck.

Second, if they don't come, Fang Jiu will definitely fall into my hands, wouldn't that be a failure.

Third, therefore, they have no other choice. "

Zeng Tai nodded: "This trick is really clever, it really kills two birds with one stone."

Mr. Shen said: "Such a headless murder case has been solved in half a day. It would be unbelievable if I hadn't seen it myself."

Di Renjie sighed: "I really hope that there will be no crimes in the world, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. But...

You have all seen that in such a peaceful world, there are also such dark corners.

The common people have nothing to rely on and are homeless, the government is like a bandit, and human life is like nothing, how can this not make people sad! "

Lord Shen sighed and nodded.

Di Renjie said: "If we don't bring this group of villains who have done a lot of evil and harmed the people to justice.

What kind of face do I, Di Renjie, wear in this set of silver and green official uniforms, what kind of face is it that I stand in the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats, and what kind of face is entrusted by the Holy Majesty! "

Zeng Tai said carefully: "Teacher, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

Di Renjie said, "But it's okay to talk about it."

Zeng Tai said: "It seems that the water in Yangzhou is very muddy!"

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said: "Yes, after Wang Zhou is arrested, I think we can find out some clues."
