Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 587 Shanyang County

The morning light was slightly dew, and the front of the county government office was empty, and the gate was tightly closed.

From a distance, Di Renjie, Zeng Tai, Fang Jiu and several guards walked quickly.

Several people walked and talked, and Zeng Tai said: "Men, we went from Fang Jiu's hometown, Shanggou Village, to Hekou Town, where we went to Hekou Town privately in our microservices?"

Di Renjie said: "It is enough for Di Chun and the others to follow up in Hekou Town. I think they will definitely gain something."

Zeng Tai asked: "Master, why are we here in Shanyang?"

Di Renjie said: "This is the first scene of the case. Although it has been so many days, let's take a look, maybe we will gain something."

Zeng Tai nodded.

While the few people were talking, they came to the county government gate, and Di Renjie reached out and slapped the door knocker.

A questioning voice from the yamen servant on duty came from inside: "Who is it?"

Di Renjie said: "Friends of the county magistrate, please see me urgently!"

With a "squeak" the door opened, and the yamen servant on duty came out.

Di Renjie took out his official certificate and said to the yamen servant: "You take this thing and report inside, and say that Di Huaiying is waiting in front of the door."

The yamen servant took the official certificate and walked quickly inside.

County government office.

In Ning's room.

Ning stood in front of the mirror in a man's attire.

She skillfully picked up the hat on the dressing table, put it on top of her head, and tied the hat belt.

At this time, there was a light knock on the door outside.

Ning quickly opened the door.

Lu Jiying stood in front of the door and asked, "Xianmei, are you ready?"

Ning nodded and said, "Okay."

Lu Jiying said: "Let's go. In case Jingyang and Yuanfang arrive early, they are not familiar with the place where they live, so don't make any further incidents."

Ning nodded, walked out of the main room, closed the door with her hands back, and the two walked out of the courtyard.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the servant on duty in front of the gate rushed in: "My lord!"

Lu Jiying stopped in his tracks and said, "What's the matter, are you in a panic?"

The yamen servant took a deep breath, handed over the official certificate in his hand and said: "There are some people in front of the door, who say they are your friends, let me come in and report."

Lu Jiying was taken aback and said, "My friend?"

The yamen servant said, "Exactly. He said his name is Di Huaiying, and he is waiting in front of the door."

Lu Jiying frowned and said, "Di... Huai... Di Renjie!"

The yamen servant said, "Exactly."

Lu Jiying took a breath, quickly opened the official pass in his hand and took a look, his face turned pale with shock.

Ning asked at the side, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Lu Jiying said in a trembling voice, "Your Excellency is here!"

Ning was taken aback: "Depose the envoy?"

Lu Jiying said: "Wu Wendeng came here that day to tell me that Mr. Di Renjie, the deposed envoy, is about to arrive in Yangzhou..."

Ning suddenly raised her head and said, "Di Renjie! Is that Di Renjie, the minister who judges cases like a god?"

Lu Jiying said: "It should be him. What to do, what to do?"

Ning said: "Brother, don't worry, you hurry to meet Master Di, I will rush to Qunxian Tea House to wait for Jing Yang and Yuan Fang."

Lu Jiying said: "It's the only way to go now. Sister Xian, be careful."

Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."

Lu Jiying nodded and ran towards the gate.

Ning shouted from behind: "Brother, official uniform!"

Lu Jiying slapped his forehead, turned around and rushed to his room.

……

It was Maozhong at this time, and the shops on the street were open, and the flow of people was busy, so it was very lively.

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai watched quietly.

Zeng Tai said: "Master, this Shanyang County is a prosperous place."

Di Renjie nodded and said: "Shanyang is connected to the canal in the north and Huaidu in the south. It is the city of both rivers, and it is the closest to Yangzhou, so it has been a thoroughfare since ancient times."

Before the words were finished, there was a rush of footsteps in the county office.

Lu Jiying came galloping in official robes, and rushed in front of Di Renjie and his party. He stopped and asked in a trembling voice, "My lords, who is the deposed envoy, Mr. Di Ge?"

Di Renjie hissed, and Lu Jiying froze.

Di Renjie said softly, "I am."

Lu Jiying knelt on the ground with a "plop", and was pulled up by Di Renjie, who had been prepared for a long time, and said, "Don't kneel, don't worship, just return the general certificate to me."

Lu Jiying looked at Di Renjie strangely, and hastily handed over the official certificate in his hand.

Di Renjie patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. I'm waiting for Weifu to arrive here. I don't want to disturb others. That's why I'm disturbing Guixian so early."

Lu Jiying hurriedly said: "The old man is disrespectful! I don't know that the old man will come, so I will welcome you. I hope the old man will forgive the crime of being humble and disrespectful."

Di Renjie said with a smile: "Okay, let's skip the politeness. I can't bear to call Guixian out of bed."

Zeng Tai on the side laughed.

Di Renjie said: "This is Mr. Zeng Tai, the Jianghuai Metropolitan Inspectorate."

Lu Jiying hurriedly wanted to kneel, but was stopped by Di Renjie: "Look, I just forgot after I finished speaking."

Lu Jiying laughed and said, "I've heard that Mr. Di Guo is like a god in judging cases, and he controls his subordinates very strictly. I didn't expect him to be so approachable."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "You are Lu Jiying, the magistrate of Shanyang County, right?"

Lu Jiying hurriedly said: "It's a humble job. Please come to the main hall to have tea."

Di Renjie said: "Thank you Guixian, there is no need to use tea. Let me ask you, where did Li Han, the doctor of the Ministry of Water, stay during his lifetime?"

Lu Jiying was taken aback, and quickly replied: "Master Li, Master Li is staying at the Shanyang Hotel."

Di Renjie said: "Then, where is the place where he hanged himself?"

Lu Jiying said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Very good. You lead me to Shanyang Hotel immediately."

Lu Jiying said: "Yes. The humble official ordered someone to prepare the sedan chair."

Di Renjie waved his hands and said, "You don't need to take a sedan chair, just walk. Along the way, you can check the customs of the people in the market."

Lu Jiying said: "Yes. I will accompany you."

……

Qunxian Tea House is located in the middle of the main street of Shanyang County.

At this time, it was the end of Mao shi, and the streets were full of people, bustling to and fro.

Among the crowd, Ning quickly walked towards Qunxian Tea House, and the clerk in front of the door hurriedly greeted him and said, "Guest officer, who are you?"

Ning said, "It's just me."

The clerk asked courteously, "Would you like to sit upstairs or downstairs?"

Ning looked around and said, "Let's go upstairs, there are two more friends coming in a while."

The man said loudly: "Okay, you always come with me."

All kinds of people in the teahouse are drinking tea and chatting.

The clerk led Ning up the stairs, Ning looked around, and saw that the seat next to the window was very quiet.

Ning said: "Guys, let's be in that chair."

The man yelled: "It's all there. There's one inside!"

Dr. Tea ran out with a water card, brought Ning to the head of the seat, and served four plates of snacks. Ning ordered a pot of rain before Dr. Tea ran down to make tea, and Ning sat down slowly. He let out a sigh of relief.
